Re: [w3c/manifest] Remove beforeinstallprompt and appinstalled events. (#836)

Understood, but that seems unrelated to "installation". If I'm reading what you are saying correctly, this appears to the an issues with detecting the display mode or if a set of UI controls are available (which *coincidently* are affected by the application being installed and the manifest being applied.)

Put differently, "applying a manifest" (having the manifest affect the behavior or presentation) is not inherently tied to installation or "add to home screen". This is also why I'm confused about how all this relates to "beforeinstallprompt", which is yet something totally unrelated. 

I think solving for the problem you describe:

>  "overflow the screen because of a bunch of browser control buttons and orientation (critical to our App) is uncontrolled"

Is certainly something we should address - but we should tackle this as unrelated to this whole "installation" thing.
