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

> 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?

@nuxodin : Yes, this is basically the whole point: on some OSs, booting up the webview is just too slow. Otherwise, you would not need the splashscreen at all. The `index.html` would serve just fine (e.g., on FxOS, we don't need splash screens because we can get a webview up in 200ms). This is why we originally rejected adding splash screens to this spec. Maybe Moore's law will allows us to overcome this limitation in the future.
