Comment (by TomAuger):

 Okay, scrolling up, I'm noticing a lot of unanswered issues / questions
 needing decisions. In an effort to hopefully bring us closer to some
 decisions, let me just summarize them here and see if we can get some
 consensus.

 1. .ICO or not? If we don't support .ico at all, Explorer is out, so this
 doesn't seem like an option to me. So either we allow straight by-pass
 upload of an .ico file, or we figure out how to encode the .ico bytestream
 by either scavenging from sources we currently have or leveraging another
 library since GD doesn't support it natively.

 2. _media_states() not sure I understand what this is or how it's
 relevant. Looking for a little guidance on that one.

 3. Should we delete the original image after cropping and saving the 32x32
 sized thumbs? Or do we leave the full-size attachment in the library? Do
 we also let it create all the other registered thumbnail sizes for the
 attachment?

 4. Thickbox or not for the crop UI?

 5. Location of the actual favicon field in Settings > General (see my
 comments on why it's currently on top). If we're not putting it on top (or
 bottom) then I'm looking for some creative suggestions to how to shim it
 into the page within the current form.
