* [oliver] Out of curiosity, does Safari support externally_connectable?
* [kiara] We support externally_connectable, but not the ids key yet.
* [timothy] One of the complications is the ID passed on the website differs between Chrome and Safari. That has to be documented differently, but that can be part of the sendMessage spec.
* [tomislav] Is the value of the ID in Safari an object? String?.

* [rob] Most overhead is in having to send the manifest to all processes; after that there is little gain between returning the full manifest vs just the version.
* [timothy] Yes. I suppose that it would only make a difference if we ever consider deprecating getManifest().
* [rob] Which I don't see happening.
* [rob] If the use case is to return specific values, why wouldn't we expand `runtime.getManifest()` with a parameter that specifies the key the developer is interested in?

I'm not sure when, but I definitely said something along those lines at one point. Feel free to drop it in if that helps the flow of the conversation :)
