Re: [w3c/manifest] Why does obtaining not check a MIME type? (#821)

> Is that realistic?

Could be... we could maybe broaden the acceptable types for legacy reasons if it captures a large enough %? (though that's a little eek, as the "JSON MIME Type" is already fairly broad).  

It might also depend if those not serving with the correct mimetype are actual "web apps" worth installing. When I looked at this problem [back in 2014](https://github.com/w3c-webmob/installable-webapps/blob/gh-pages/ios_standalone/README.md#key-findings), it turned out that the apps claiming to be "installable" were, in large part, not usable at all.
