This is a lovely document but I really don't see how to use it. I notice a line A manifest entry named |compose_action| is required to use |composeAction|. Above that it gives a list of Manifest properties. But how do you add this to the manifest.json? Looking at Owl, the one working webextension addon that I've been able to find has not helped me at all in this context. Owl does have some manifest entries for Experiment Apis but the format looks nothing like the layout in the readthedocs. Again, a simple example of a manifest.json perhaps linked to the above document would really help.:)

I've neglected to mention composeAction's similarity to Firefox's browserAction <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/browserAction> and its use in several of our sample extensions <https://github.com/thundernest/sample-extensions>. I will update the page.
