As came up in some off-list discussion with Anne, is the “Manifest for a
web application” spec at https://w3c.github.io/manifest/ not relevant here?
(Nothing to reverse engineer, since it has an actual spec—with defined
processing requirements—and at least one other browser-engine project is
also contributing to it and implementing it.)
