Comment (by jb510):

 Welcome.  FWIW my first thought was that it should support the complete
 favicon spec across devices (browserconfig.xml, apple icons, Ms icons,
 etc...).  That's a mess though, totally support the simple solution with
 the ability for plugins to over ride it with support for more later.

 I'm still not clear if uploading .ico files is supposed to work or not?
 Regardless, better instruction is needed to clarify or warn against
 uploading .ico files since that what a lot of people will assume to
 upload.
