Manifest? I thought we were talking about the Mozilla proposal. If
you're referring to the list of link tags as a manifest, here is what
I am thinking:

If you visit http://a.com and it serves you a page linking to:
base.js
en/1.html

And then later you come back and it serves you a page linking to:
base.js
fr/1.html

You have to revalidate all three files, right? You don't know whether
en/1.html depends on base.js.

I am probably missing something totally obvious :-)
