Re: [w3c/manifest] Add screenshots object (#477)

I feel like I wasn't clear. I was reacting to the following statements

> some will want desktop, others will want mobile, or tablet, etc. Some may require squares, other particular dimensions and so on (and developers will likely want to crop or adjust display of those screenshots on various sites).

> Additionally, it's not uncommon for screenshots to be customized for the particular store they are targeting.

This (albeit loosely) reflects the current state of icons as well. an iOS icon != android icon. Also true for `related_applications` as well. 

My point is that I don't see how platform differences in stores should prevent developers from being able to optionally include screenshots in a standard way.

There will always be specificities that the spec doesn't/shouldn't cover. But if a store ingests a site with a manifest as a store app, they would undoubtedly allow for a person to "claim" that app in the store to modify the metadata further (adding videos, release notes, etc).
