> Probably not, no. They are only really useful for representing a larger grouping of URLs ("an app" or "a site"). On a page-by-page basis, it seems fine to keep using favicons and link rel=icon.

FWIW in Firefox OS 2.5 we use icons from a manifest in the URL bar without installation. We assume the manifest icon applies to the whole site whereas a link rel=icon applies to a single page. We fall back to a page icon if a site icon isn't provided.
