Re: [w3c/manifest] Make unbounded navigation scope less broad (#550)

kenchris:

For the sake of clarity:
Chrome currently uses the manifest URL as the base URL if the scope URL is specified. Thus if the Web Manifest specifies:
start_url="https://www.example.com/subdir/deeper/even_deeper/index.html"
manifest_url="https://www.example.com/subdir/manifest.json"
scope="deeper"

The resolved scope is
"https://www.example.com/subdir/deeper/"

I think that you are suggesting that if the Web Manifest specifies:
start_url="https://www.example.com/subdir/deeper/even_deeper/index.html"
manifest_url="https://www.example.com/subdir/manifest.json"
(no scope is specified)

The resolved scope should be
"https://www.example.com/subdir/"
instead of
"https://www.example.com/subdir/deeper/even_deeper/" which is what Chrome currently computes
