Well, yeah, but most of that is just sick. Adding things like '<link
rel="apple-touch-icon" .../>' to your web site is IMHO just how it
should *not* be done.
If we're afraid that the 16x16 pixel icon is not enough, I think we
should add an additional SVG icon, smile at the browsers that support it
and wait for the others to catch up.
