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

Like @mgiuca and others have said. Special casing the start_url would really only move the goal post. Installing an application is an inherit action of storage. The best solution to this issue would be to allow the user to uninstall the application via the clear data functions of various UAs. I would suggest that any clear all function allow for the opting out of uninstallation; especially for an option to "clear all data across multiple origins" as I am sure that removing a number of apps from the user's device by clearing data would confuse many users and lead to unintended data loss. It is also extremely possible that users will distinguish installed apps and their website counterpart as separate and not expect that clearing data from one to affect the other at all. So maybe during a clearing dialog the user is presented with the option to check mark the current context (web / app) and the other context.
