Summary: When loading an HTML page with a <link rel="icon"> tag in the <head>, Safari doesn't load this icon and doesn't display it in the address bar. Both Opera 9 and Firefox 2 display this icon properly. Not tested on MSIE 6 yet. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Safari. 2. Load test page. Expected results: The webkit.org favicon should be loaded (icon should appear in the Activity Window) and displayed in the address bar when the page is loaded. Actual results: The favicon is not loaded and is not displayed in the address bar when the page is loaded. Regression: Shipping Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8N1037) exhibits the actual results, so this is not a regression. Tested with a locally-built debug build of WebKit r18423. Notes: Code in WebKit/DOM/WebDOMOperations.m for DOMHTMLLinkElement leads me to believe that this icon is expected to be loaded (or was loaded at one time) since saving a WebArchive uses this code path and will try to save the icon to the WebArchive file (and fail).

Once Bug 11882 lands, this fix will need a webarchive test: <link rel="icon" href="resources/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
