Hi Ton Why wouldn't you just use the $:/favicon.ico mechanism? It automatically inserts a link element for the specified image, base64 encoding as needed. The icon itself can be image/x-icon, image/png and I think jpegs work too.
The only reason for using <link rel="icon"> would be if you wanted to use an external image as the favicon. Best wishes Jeremy.
