This removal would benefit from some (possibly manual?) tests. Although they might just uncover that this section is wrong and browsers generally treat text/* the same, in which case a followup bug would suffice.

Still LGTM. Excited to get this merged! |
Per whatwg/html#6153 and whatwg/html@e4330d5, the Application Cache feature is no longer part of the HTML standard. So this change marks both the applicationCache member of SharedWorkerGlobalScope and the "manifest" attribute of the <html> element as standard_track:false.

After the removal of AppCache in whatwg#6153, this algorithm is now unused.
After the removal of AppCache in #6153, this algorithm is now unused.
This removes the manifest attribute on the html element, the text/cache-manifest format, the integration of application caches with navigation, the monkey patching of what is now Fetch, and the window.applicationCache API.
Closes #151 and closes #5505.
