[whatwg] <link rel=icon width="" height="">

[Charles Iliya Krempeaux]

Sorry to reply to my own reply.

For vector formats, that can be scaled to any size, it might be a good idea
to be able to specify the aspect ratio somehow.

For example, if the aspect ratio of one vector format icon is 4:3 and the
other 16:9, then it would be a "good" idea to be able to specify those
somehow.

So possibly something like...

<link type="icon" type="application/svg" width="4*" height="3*"
href="A.svg">

<link type="icon" type="application/svg" width="16*" height="9*"
href="B.svg">

(Note, I used the N* format to specify that the width and height are ratios
rather than pixel measurements.  For some reason I remember seeing these
used on <col> elements before... although I couldn't find anything like it
in doing a quick look over the the HTML5 spec.  So maybe those didn't come
from the spec.)
