Hi all,

While implementing the required features to pass the tests of the test
suite, I was wondering if you really want to keep the default start file
table. The benefit of this table seems to be just avoiding the use of a
<content> element with an src attribute in the config file while the
drawback is that you have to scan your zip file for all files in order. The
spec and conformance would be simpler without that, without losing features
I think. WDYT?

The content element is not mandatory, so you kinda need the table.
Also, it needs to be specified what precedence a user agent gives to
loading files, which is the second purpose of the table. The last
purpose of the table is to tell a user agent what MIME type to use for
each file type, which is also fairly important.
As I replied to Robin, I'd rather make it more explicit in the config file. I 
think it would make it more readable/understandable without requiring to 
know/hard-code all the default values. It's a question of taste. My suggestion 
was more to mandate the content element, to mandate a type attribute and to 
allow nesting them for indicating the precedence or use document order 
(multiple content elements, like the icon element).
