Would seem useful to add: MAY provide the application version number.

Any thoughts on adding on 'app' tag? Why is the manifest in JSON?

<head>
 <app name="Best News!" version="1.1" manifest="more-detailed-stuff.foo"/>
</head>

That way the platform knows this 'app' can be "versioned" and can choose to update the application or ask the user what to do.
