Maybe I'm being pedantic, but the HTML reference to the favicon is the convention. I personally roll my eyes when I deploy something and see tons of 404s in my log for favicons that I've not made available or suggested that browsers attempt to load.

Sucks as a convention. Interestingly Google on their search homepage (for me at least) are using a microdata markup and not serving an explicit icon: <meta itemprop="image" content="/images/google_favicon_128.png"> See eg http://dev.w3.org/html5/md/#names:-the-itemprop-attribute http://dev.w3.org/html5/md/#names:-the-itemprop-attribute
