Relax top-level service worker requirement #147
Description
As per w3c/ServiceWorker#839 (comment), it sounds like the service worker specification will be updated to allow any byte-by-byte changes to importScripts() resources to trigger the Install flow. This opens the door towards allowing developers to pull in sw-precache's output via importScripts() instead of forcing them to use it as their top-level service worker.
It also might open the door to some of the refactoring that @gauntface has advocated for in #43 and elsewhere.
This all will depend on browsers shipping service worker implementations that adhere to the new behavior, so this issue is more of a long-term reminder than anything immediately actionable.
