Re: [manifest] Manifest format should support some way of including a splash screen (#9)

> I would prefer to have background_color on the icon object instead of outside. It gives information that can be interesting to the UA. For example, which icon is fit for a dark background and which for a lighter one.

That's kinda interesting, but I'd like to see where something like that is done in practice? Is that something that Android supports?

>  I don't think it's fair to take iOS examples and say that a splashscreen implement should follow what is being done their.

I think it's the same on Android, but I will check tomorrow.

Yes, @kornel pointed this out in https://github.com/w3c/manifest/issues/361. We need to start thinking about how to address that. We've already started doing platform specific stuff with the `related_apps` thing, so feels like the time is right to start giving that some more serious thought.

Didn't know that Android didn't recommend them. I'll still be interested to see if devs. are respecting that on mainstream apps.
