I think we're getting mixed up with definitions here. A colophon
originally meant a publisher's emblem or symbol, which favicon.ico
does arguably fill. However, I think Todd is referring to the other
definition, which refers to something like a newspaper's masthead... a
list of all contributors, editors, designers, and whatnot that were
involved in production.

While a colophon would be nice, I wouldn't expect it to ever become
standard. The people who create ad/or publish content take all the
credit... during 4 years as an editor in print publishing, I never
once got my name put on anything that was produced.
