In their favour, Mozilla do support LINK REL="icon" (and the MS version)
as alternate ways of pointing to the image. And they're also providing a
toolbar view of embedded LINK REL=xyz stuff (next/prev/etc), which is a
big plus as it motivates people to deploy that sort of metadata on their
sites.
Maybe if the RDFists amongst us got it together to finish off an RDF
sitemaps spec (which included properties for logos and the old HTML link
types) there'd be an incentive to do something better than the 'well known
location' hack...
