No. The request only happens if you decide to "pin" the site, or otherwise give it a first-class status on your machine (one could imagine the same by pining it to the OSX dock or making a site into a "standalone app", I think there was a browser doing that a while ago)

Even worse. That gives first-class status to the "HTML version" which contains links to all of the other "versions" of a webapp.

Erm... you make absolutely no sense here?

Of course the "HTML version" (aka hello we're talking about web pages here) is the main resource, what else would be, unicorn and ponies?
