Hola (again) TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of the Web Install API.

The Web Install API provides a way to democratise and decentralise web application acquisition, by enabling "do-it-yourself" developers to have control over the application discovery and distribution process, providing them with the tools they need to allow a web site to install a web app. This means end users have the option to more easily discover new applications and experiences that they can acquire with reduced friction.
