These two sentences had been saying pretty much the same thing. The first had previously scoped the spec to image creation, but the spec covers the format itself, creation, and unpacking. Listing the constituent components seemed like enough for one sentence, so the new sentence stays away from format/creation/unpacking distinctions.

I've also left manifest lists out for now, since adding a reference too them seemed orthogonal do consolidating these sentences. Adding manifest-list references is covered in #455.

This specification defines how to create an OCI Image, which will generally be done by a build system, and output an [image manifest](manifest.md), a set of [filesystem layers](layer.md), and an [image configuration](config.md).
This specification defines an OCI Image, consisting of a [manifest](manifest.md), a set of [filesystem layers](layer.md), and a [configuration](config.md).
At a high level the image manifest contains metadata about the contents and dependencies of the image including the content-addressable identity of one or more [filesystem layer changeset](layer.md) archives that will be unpacked to make up the final runnable filesystem.

Can we strike "At a high level"?

I'm fine with that change, but am not touching the line in this PR. Maybe ask in #455 (which is touching the line)?
