Re: [w3c/manifest] Clarify the definition of "navigation scope", "applied", and off-scope theming (#880)

> +          A <a>manifest</a> can be <dfn data-lt="apply|applying">applied</dfn>
+          to a <a>top-level browsing context</a>, meaning that the members of
+          the <a>manifest</a> are affecting the presentation or behavior of a
+          browsing context. Whenever a <a>top-level browsing context</a> is
+          created, the user agent MAY <a>apply</a> a manifest to it, before
+          [=navigate|navigation=] begins.
+        </p>
+        <p class="note">
+          Whether to [=apply=] a manifest, and which manifest to apply, is at
+          the discretion of the user agent, based on the user's actions. For
+          example, if the user launched an application from the system menu or
+          from a [=launching a shortcut|shortcut=], the user agent might create
+          a new [=top-level browsing context=] with that application's
+          [=manifest=] [=applied=], but it might not do so if the user simply
+          clicked a bookmark to a URL within the application's [=navigation
+          scope=].

so you mean that it might reuse an existing one?
