Thesis statement (why this spec?) #3

Should have some doc explaining that static apps are really sensible implementations, especially in the face of some of the newest web techs like Web Manifests and Service Workers, along with being implemented in conjunction with fixed services like (CP)ouchDB, but there are still behaviors, desirable for achieving certain goals / API surfaces in look and feel, that, while easy to describe, require different, sometimes-incompatible patterns to use across these platforms - sometimes not providing a way to achieve these patterns at all.

Also, I ought to mention up front that I have read xkcd 927, and that I do get that that happens, and why. I think that the "fifteenth standard" problem is more just a symptom of those people in Panel 2 not taking the time to actually go and understand why there has been a proliferation of standards before they go off and write their own, which is why I'm soliciting referrals for as many existing approaches in the wild as I possibly can.
