James,
Thanks for the feedback on "privacyPolicy" vs. "privacy-policy". I was starting to make that change and had a few other comments / ideas. I'd rather do one patch than a few. 

I can't get to the link you provided for preview. ( http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-snell-additional-link-relations-04 )
One thing that we would like to be able to have is multiple screenshots. I don't really care if this is multiple preview elements etc. 

Also, the language on the icons should be that the suggested size is 16, 48, 128, but it does not have to be. This allows for 12, 32, 64. That's why there's medium-icon and large-icon.

Make sense??

This one definitely is a significant concern actually.. mainly because
of the wildly varying requirements for icon sizes on modern devices.
iOS alone defines something like over 30+ distinct icon sizes for
different purposes depending on whether the display is on iphone,
ipad, uses retina, etc. I'm all for drawing a line and just saying
"This works for us right now" but we need to make sure we don't end up
limiting ourselves from supporting an important use case. Are three
sizes enough or do we need to support an arbitrary range of possible
sizes and allow the container to pick which is best to use based on
specific device requirements?
