> +        An <dfn class="export">installable web application</dfn> is a website
+        with an [=applied=] [=manifest=], with an [=manifest/identity=] and
+        [=manifest/navigation scope|scope=]. A user agent can provide a way for
+        the end-user to <dfn data-local-lt="installing|installation" data-lt=
+        "installed">install</dfn> an installable web application, allowing the
+        user to instantiate a new top-level browsing context with the
+        manifest's members applied. An installable web application that is
+        installed is known as a <dfn data-export="">installed web
+        application</dfn>. That is, the manifest's members, or their defaults,
+        are in effect on the <a>top-level browsing context</a>. This
+        distinguishes an installed web application from a traditional bookmark,
+        as opening a web page from a traditional bookmark will not have the
+        manifest's properties <a>applied</a> to it.
