Re: [w3c/manifest] Single-window mode option (#597)

I think that may be over-simplifying the view of mobile a little bit (and tablets can have similar issues). It's true that a user may typically only see one window at a time, but under the hood (and it affects things like task management, back-stack and more) this is actually done by re-using an activity or launching a new instance. If you haven't seen it, the docs on launch modes for activities on Android may be worth some consideration: https://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities/tasks-and-back-stack.html#TaskLaunchModes

Anyway, the reason I mention all this is that getting this right can be quite challenging - we've certainly faced some difficulty implementing it on Android and are still dealing with some issues related to back-button across activities. Also given that mobile and desktop would have different defaults, how do we rationalize this?
