 > Is there a benefit to using png files for favicons instead of ico files
 other than not having to convert to a different file format?

 - Alpha channel support allows for transparency, which looks better in the
 browser because you can let the background color through.

 - You can use any size instead of being limited to 32x32 or 16x16.

 - PNGs are easily supported. Writing ICOs is kind of a pain.

 PNGs are more standard. ICOs are weird. It's not hard to do both if this
 is done.
