The problem with using <link rel="icon"> is that it doesn't work for everything. If you put it in the predefined location, being `/favicon.ico`, you will not get any 404s in case you missed a directory or file etc. Of course, it would be nice if there would be some official draft on how to deal with this, as well as with robots.txt and P3P. Using it for other files might be possible using HTTP: Link: <favicon.ico>; rel="icon" -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
