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

That's not true. CSS border-image has been around for many years, tho it never found much use. Also, it's not like it's a huge burden to learn, plus there are a lot of tools that easily allow you to make 9-patch images (both on the web and offline - including any off the shelf graphics program). The benefit is also that we don't need to introduce any new image format.
