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"
