Comment (by kjellr):

 Hey there. @karmatosed, @joshuawold and I chatted about this in today's
 design triage, and the general consensus is below:

 > 1) There's only 1 Windows Tile (270x270px). To cover newer devices there
 should be a delcaration for the small, medium, wide and large Tile.

 It probably makes sense to declare the small, medium, and large tiles
 here, since they're all just alternate sizes of the square image we're
 already creating.

 > 2) There should be a colorpicker for the Windows Tile.
 > 3) Because the wide Windows Tile is rectangular (310x150px), there
 should be an additional file input for this Tile.

 In general, these two feel like plugin territory. The square site icon is
 used universally, across all browsers, whereas this is targeting a
 specific system. It doesn't make sense for us to auto-crop the rectangular
 variant of this image, but it also may be confusing to suggest users
 create a whole custom crop for this one use case.

 > 4) To overwrite the prefered XML browser configuration file, this should
 be added:
 > <meta name="msapplication-config" content="none" />
 > 5) Instead of using rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" it's more common
 to use rel="apple-touch-icon" nowadays. Example:
 > <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-
 icon.png">

 We'll hold off on weighing in here, since they're not necessarily UX/UI
 related. 👍
