Let's assume you have a 100px x 100px div with 0 padding and 0 border-width and the 3 sizes within the same .ico file in your example.

Would your choice the be the same or different for these cases:

(a) background-size unspecified

(b) background-size: 100px 100px; 

(c) background-size: 2px 10px;

(d) background-size: 2px 100%;

(e) background-size: 2px auto;


As it stands today, background-size takes the image intrinsic dimensions as (optional) inputs and round/space takes post-background-size sizing as input.

How far down the rabbit hole do we go for fragments to guess what's most desirable at render time?
