 Hi,

 I'm currently working on an RSS reader, and it appears that Wordpress does
 not make use of the possibilities of the <image> tag available in the RSS
 2.0 specification
 (http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html#optionalChannelElements,
 optional element on channel).

 This would greatly ease the parsing of favicons, preventing from doing an
 extra request to get the favicon URL and clearly improving reactivity of
 the reader, if the address to the favicon could be put in the RSS field.

 I saw some issues about this on wordpress forums:
 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/favicon-rss
 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-do-i-put-favicon-to-show-up-in-
 rss-feeds

 Maybe I missed something and it is included in wordpress, but I did not
 see it in any wordpress site I visited. However, I do not know wordpress
 enough to know if such a behaviour is hard to implement or not in
 Wordpress… =(

 Thanks !
