I want to point out that favicons are a usability improvement - being
able to see which window is which from just the titlebar, window list or
desk switcher icons is a boon for anyone like me with lots and lots of
windows open.

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.
