Description

Recommend that if the user hits the "reload" button in their browser, the browser will contact the logical origin (i.e. the URL that is visible in the browser's URL bar) to determine freshness.

(Currently not specified, but seem to be the expected behaviour, see e.g. 1, 2, 3.)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the webpackage specification and the linked discussions in issues 149, 293, and 300. Determine where the reload and logical-origin freshness behavior is specified, then document the recommendation and confirm that the specification clearly requires contacting the URL shown in the browser address bar.
