Re: [whatwg] A mask= advisory flag for link rel=icon

2015-06-26 Thread Maciej Stachowiak

We're considering supporting SVG in the places in the UI where we render the 
icon in full color. Nothing to announce currently.

 Does this mean we can now have rel=icon with SVG instead of providing a
 bitmap for every iOS device specifically (when we add to homepage)? Do
 chrome and  Firefox support SVG icon images?

 To close the loop on this, we will change to link rel=mask-icon
 href=whatever.svg color=#aabbcc. We like the idea of determining the
 color from the SVG, but we won't be able to implement in time for this
 cycle, and having an explicit color override seems useful. So for now we'll
 implement explicit color and we'll consider automatic color picking based
 on the SVG as a fallback when the color is missing as a future extension.
 
 Please let me know if anyone disagrees with this approach.
 
 Sounds acceptable to me.  What's the grammar of color=''?  Just hex,
 or full CSS color?  (Either is fine with me.)

 We support full CSS colors. Though, we ignore the alpha component.

Cool.  When are we going to see a spec for this?  ^_^

Well, typically what happens is people talk through various options on
this mailing list and then Ian specs something out when he catches up on
the thread. But you already knew that. :)

I also happen to have experience with just writing the spec myself, as you
know from both picture and theme-color, so I was hoping y'all'd do the
same. 
