Hmmm.... Well, I suppose you could always do what a few misguided
souls did back in the earlier days of IE - sniff for the browser and
just not serve up pages to it ("Sorry, get a 'real' browser like
Netscape 2.0" <snicker at the naivete>). Wouldn't solve the problem
directly, but it wouldn't take many sites telling AOLers, "Sorry, tell
AOL to pull the /favicon.ico nonstandardness from Mozilla and I'll let
you in" for the problem to mysteriously disappear.
