Re: [w3c/manifest] Use WebIDL to describe the manifest data structure (#611)

I think we agree on reusing IDL types and perhaps on using most of the dictionary syntax. The question with respect to the syntax is whether it's best to abstract that somehow or fork it. Where we might disagree is conversion.

I think you're equating JSON with APIs a bit too much. [StrictString] makes no sense for APIs (using ToString on arguments is expected and used throughout the ecosystem), but makes perfect sense for a JSON resource. Trying to shoehorn those different validation expectation into the same declarative system is not a good idea as they might leak. A shared abstraction might be warranted though.
