Saluton TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of display_override.

Add a new field to the web manifest, "display-override", where a developer can specify an explicit display fallback chain they would like applied.

Example of a website that wants "minimal-ui" to fall back to "standalone" (currently not possible due to the static fallback chain in the spec for display).

{
  "display": "standalone",
  "display-override": ["minimal-ui"],
}

You should also know that...

This is intended to be a minor behavioral change to the way display modes are processed & specified. This is currently blocking new display modes like tabbed & custom window overlay mode, as they cannot place themselves in the current display list without significant problems.

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please delete all but the desired option):
