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

@nuxodin You mean, create the 9-patch image from a snapshot of the HTML page? Or just create a fixed sized splash screen in landscape and portrait? That would not work e.g. on desktop where the window can be resized while the launch screen is being displayed. Also, you may have multiple monitors of different resolutions or aspect ratios.

There are some implementability concerns with using an HTML document. For example, what if some of the resources needed to render splash.html do not load or load too slowly, or you get 404? Should we check the splash.html for updates, if so, how often?

What is the use case, what extra flexibility do you need that is not provided by the static 9-piece image?
