Would you think it would?
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. -- Brad Beyenhof http://augmentedfourth.com I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. ~ Galileo Galilei, astronomer and physicist (1564-1642) -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
