I'll chime in a bit late on this that static file support is also a use case for IIIF and something we've kept in mindd while working on the APIs. This is the model for "level0" compliance [6]. A while ago I made a little demo of OpenSeadragon over IIIF Image API 1.1 using tiles and included a tile generator [7]. It is python using PIL and tile generation is not optimized!
