Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Service Worker Scope Pattern Matching explainer (#417)

> It seems if app manifests and service workers have the same capabilities for expressing scopes, we'd avoid these problems.

AIUI the manifest spec tries to keep their scopes behavior aligned with service worker scopes behavior.  @mgiuca has told me he might do the spec work to try to factor out the scope behavior into a common place that both service workers and manifests can reference.  That has not happened yet.

So my implicit going in assumption is that we want to keep them the same.

That being said, there is currently a mismatch between service workers and manifest in terms of matching search parameters.  Service workers prefix matches against the search field, but there are parts of the manifest integration with android that cannot match against search parameters.  There are discussions on going about what to do about that.  We could try deprecating the service worker behavior, but we would need to determine if sites are using it, etc.

For the scopes pattern matching proposal one of the outcomes from the TPAC face-to-face is that we're going to punt on the search parameter bits I have in the explainer.  I believe the rest of the explainer is supportable in manifest and our intent would be to keep them aligned.

Does that address your concern?
