What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Managed storage manifests

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples/tree/main/favourite-colour uses the British spelling "colour" everywhere.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native_manifests#managed_storage_manifests uses the American spelling "color" in 6 locations.

Before you accuse me of being pedantic:
The extension ID must be exactly the same everywhere in the extension.
(same for the names of the storage keys)
Otherwise, the extension won't work.

And this happens when someone downloads the extension from https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples/tree/main/favourite-colour but copies the storage manifest from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native_manifests#managed_storage_manifests

What did you expect to see?

The same spelling of color/colour everywhere.
