That's just shifting the problem up one level. 

The point here is to bootstrap the progressive apps ecosystem by covering the 80% case. Once we get more than Chromium-based browsers supporting this standard, we can come back and add more things (even things we know we need, like this!). 

We need another year or so for that to happen so we are trying to reduce the feature set to "good enough" for now. That may help us convince Microsoft and Apple to implement, and Mozilla to use my implementation in a product like Fennec. 

To be clear: there is no point in having splashscreens in the spec if Chromium is not going to implement it, so we should take splashscreens out till they are convinced otherwise. 

We need more sites like FT saying "we need this" in order to change their minds.
