Re: [w3c/manifest] Icon shapes and masking (#555)

I don't agree.

I bet that you will see devs adding special icons for iOS and totally ignoring Windows and maybe even Android, or just giving it a default square icon like today, which Windows still might have to modify.

Also, this is the web platform, and we would love people to create new product groups and reuse flexible primitives. There is no reason why, say a TV manufacturer wouldn't like be to able to apply a nice mask and get squircle icons instead of being forced to use square icons like today. **Option B** gives everyone this flexibility - to get something that looks integrated with the their platform, while still allowing developers to have quite some control over the look.

If you want pixel perfect look, then that won't be the perfect solution, but the web is about the long tail and not just the big brands who will be the ones caring most about this and having the resources to optimize for every single platform out there.
