linking to a manifest is done via an attribute and not using something
like
<link rel="appcache.manifest" href="<manifest-URI>">
The <link> based approach would allow better upgrade mechanism, if the
format of the manifest changes, for exemple.
[Disclaimer requested by the Chairs: This is not an official response

<link> doesn't work because of
<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src=script.js></script>
<!-- event loop spins -->
<link rel=appcache.manifest" href="manifest.manifest">
Well, there is an 'update()' call that triggers the application cache
download process, and when called, is done after the event loop spins, so
if it fails for <link>, it should also fail for a direct 'update' call, no?
