It may be overly optimistic in your opinion, Dave, but why could you not have adopted the plan I suggested at the beginning? That was - leave it turned off by default - give those who want to evangelise a couple of months to put their time where their mouth is - if still no sites are using <link>, turn it on. However, by turning it on immediately, you rob them of any leverage in doing that evangelism - "Hey! Use <link rel=icon> for cool tab-related and URL bar effects in Mozilla and Netscape 6" "Er, we already get that." "Um...". Gerv
