I completely agree. If this gets added to standard, then Josip i think you
should rethink your stance. However until that time different browsers do
different things. None of which can be called the Right Thing (tm).
For example some expect ico format, others png. Some try to download them,
others look for the meta header. The whole situation is a mess that needs
clarification.
