 > I don't know if we need to add all `apple-touch-icon` and `icon` sizes,
 do we? That seems like an unnecessary bloat to me. We can either load the
 highest resolution and let it resize, or add low and high if really
 needed.

 I agree that it's all badly implemented, and I hope that one day all
 parties just support them all being referenced in a single manifest.json.

 The last line of the table on the
 [https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/IconMatrix.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006556-CH27
 Apple website] recommends 4 different sizes alone.

 The [http://realfavicongenerator.net/faq#.VVST6dpVhBc FAQ] here outlines
 most of the files I gave as an example, and links through to further info.

 The manifest.json is a [http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/manifest/ working
 draft spec] from the W3C, implemented by Chrome and being worked towards
 by Firefox. The [https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dn455106(v=vs.85).aspx
 browserconfig.xml] is from MS for similar features.

 Do all sites need support for all of this? No, definitely not, but only
 considering handling a simple .ico is missing a great deal of the current
 site identity battle.
