As is often the case, the exact shape of the spec might not fit but the problems that were solved shouldn't be solved anew. > +1 to supporting SVG icons but you also need to allow the developer to choose to use a set of pre-rendered icons at different resolutions. Right, but the Apple way of specifying precise sizes only works in a controlled environment (and will probably lead to ugly things when even that evolves over time). I think we can simply allow for multiple icons, and provide hints for which should be used at what size/resolution. And this does not necessarily require rasters — you may want differently detailed SVGs for different sizes. Does anyone object to moving this to public-native-web-apps@w3.org? This is hardly architectural. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
