Two things: 1. Is it necessary to define both a magic file and a content attribute? I can see the UC for maybe wanting to use a different filename, but is it a big enough UC? Is there another reason for it? Or is it more that we are following the pattern of the <content> and <icon> elements where we have both default magic files that can be overridden by the author? 2. While SVG is one of the standard formats we habitually list in images, Brian indicated that it isn't currently supported in device OSs for displaying splash screens. Its probably worth including in the top spot as if it does get supported it gets around the scaling issues, however perhaps we need an Authoring Guideline suggesting widget authors shouldn't rely on SVG alone and always include a non-SVG splash image. > > -- > Marcos Caceres > http://datadriven.com.au > > >
