Re: [w3c/manifest] The new definition of "installable web application" is inconsistent with the normative text of the specification (Issue #1168)

dmurph left a comment (w3c/manifest#1168)

If there is no manifest at all, then none of that matters? We don't have shortcuts, etc. We just want the processing algorithm to return a resolved manifest. So we can say either that we fake manifest_url as the document url just for the resolution, OR we can special case no manifest, but the resolved manifest would be the same - it has an id, start_url, and scope only.

I think we don't agree on the fundamental use-cases here, so I don't really think it's worth continuing to chat about the downstream decisions from those use-cases, as they will definitely disagree.
