Re: [w3c/manifest] Privacy Review: handle start_url tracking (#399)

> But it's not just the manifest file that may contain an ID. What if I modify my server as follows: Whenever any HTML or Javascript file is fetched, the server adds the current time as a string to its contents (in a suitable place). If any browser tries to re-fetch it with the If-Modified-Since HTTP header set, the server returns Not Modified. ..


I would be wary from inventing clever schemes, which at times can always be done this way or another in relation to many web features. I simply feel it would be more useful to limit the focus to the PWA/manifest/start_url. I simply fear that if we continue to expand the view here, we may end up in undesirable place ;-)
