So forgive my strong language, but block-headedly insisting on a spec that isn't followed by 98% of Internet users, and as a result, 95% of web site owners, is hurting usability here. We're not lacking favicons for "some sites", but most of them. Of my 1200 bookmarks, about 20 show favicons in Ephy. -- Osma Ahvenlampi <oa iki fi> http://www.fishpool.org
