Re: [w3c/manifest] Support a way to update explicitly (#446)

What URL is Chrome using to fetch the manifest? Is it the original url the manifest was fetched from when it was installed or the start_url member?

I see a danger in updating using the manifest presented by the page in start_url. What if you make a mistake in an update, for example a misspelled domain name. All installed apps would update and then have no way of fetching the right manifest again. Basically locking yourself out of your installed app base.

Irregardless of the implementation details, that's great news. We can start producing apps without worrying that they will be impossible to update. The ideal would be to specify this in the standard.
