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

Yes, snapshot of it.

of different resolutions or aspect ratios.

On desktop, it should be ok loading the cached splash-screen-html without
making a snapshot. But i see the problem...

On installing the web-app and on changing the last-modified of the manifest
(or the version?)

provided by the static 9-piece image?

HTML / CSS is well known by all webdevelopers, the 9-piece image is new
