Thats what it looks like to me too in the current draft. Wondering if thats
the right behavior though?

Generally when loading a frame, the appcache from which the doc resource was
loaded gets selected (augmented by an explicit manifest attribute that can
make something 'foreign').

In this case, the src is a script embedded in a page that is appcached, so
in a transitory sense the doc resource was loaded from an appcache, but that
cache does not get selected.

Feels like maybe image.png should load from myManifestFile in the sample?
