Are there any connections between the new Manifest spec and the configuration document specified [1] in Packaged Web Apps? Have all of the attributes that go into a configuration been considered as possible Manifest members? Going by the use cases document, there are at least two characteristics (offline, no navigation bar) that define a standalone app. Are there any more characteristics that a standalone app should have? Should these be noted in the spec? Could there be any benefit to enumerating these characteristics in the manifest? I¹m wondering whether it would be useful to say that the web app provides a native app UI but still requires the device to be online.
