However, the security model could then be refined so that, for instance, only same origin manifests that are served over HTTPS get special powers. In such a case, non-same-origin manifests could be "tainted" and only the basic metadata from the manifest would be used by the user agent.

So long term are we expecting deployment on CDNs on sites that do not
want these features too? Sticking to same-origin seems simpler.
