I remember there being a session at the W3C Workshop on Web & Virtual
Reality in 2016
(https://www.khronos.org/events/w3c-workshop-on-web-virtual-reality)
which touched on this.  Might be some interesting info in the video
archives -

Samsung introduced a preliminary version of this in Samsung Internet
Browser, the Skybox API - https://samsunginter.net/docs/skybox - I
remember there being some discussion about a <meta> tag which would let
you specify it in the HTML, but I'm not sure if that was ever implemented.

I also seem to remember Oculus Browser was working on something to do
with gltf favicons, I can't find any info on that though.  Looks like
Justin just replied separately though :)

JanusVR would be interested in any discussion about this standard, we're
also interested in adding this feature.
