Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/links.html Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete.html#atom Comment: step 5: <link rel=icon> Posted from: 81.234.240.182 by philip@foolip.org
1. What if there are multiple <link rel=icon> elements? 2. URL should be in href="", not text content (other instances of this problem were fixed in http://html5.org/r/5235)
(In reply to comment #1) > 2. URL should be in href="", not text content (other instances of this problem > were fixed in http://html5.org/r/5235) Sorry, I misread the spec, it adds <icon>URL</icon>, not <link rel=icon>URL</link> as I thought.
(In reply to comment #1) > 1. What if there are multiple <link rel=icon> elements? As for this, the Atom spec states, for some reason, that "atom:feed elements MUST NOT contain more than one atom:icon element.", so picking the same as a browser would (first or last?) seems reasonable. Unfortunately, http://feedvalidator.org/ complains about "Unregistered link relationship" if trying to use <link rel="icon" href="URL"/> in Atom, or that would have been a workaround.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Accepted Change Description: see diff given below Rationale: #1: clarified that it's the first such element that is used. #2: invalid per comment 2. I'd do something more clever with the icon, but I figure we'll wait to see whether enough people really care before going crazy here.
Checked in as WHATWG revision r5849. Check-in comment: clarify which rel=icon you use when converting to Atom, if there are many http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=5848&to=5849
