I would suggest a sizes attribute which can take a list of sizes (with x as a width/height separator), or a keyword such as "any" or "scalable" to indicate a scalable format suitable for any size.

<link rel="icon" type="application/svg" sizes="any" href="whatwg.svg">
<link rel="icon" type="image/microsoft.vnd.icon" sizes="16x16 32x32" href="whatwg.ico"> <link rel="icon" type="image/x-apple-icons" sizes="16x16 32x32 64x64 128x128 256x256 512x512" href="whatwg.icns">

OK, I'm sure the last thing that is needed is more syntax suggestions, but here's an alternate proposal with no new attributes, specify size info as additional rel keywords:

<link rel="icon scalable" type="application/svg" href="whatwg.svg">
<link rel="icon 16x16 32x32" type="image/microsoft.vnd.icon" href="whatwg.ico"> <link rel="icon 16x16 32x32 64x64 128x128 256x256 512x512" type="image/ x-apple-icons" href="whatwg.icns">
<link rel="icon 59x60" type="image/png" href="whatwg.png">

This would however effectively define an open-ended set of rel values, and also it is dubious whether a size can be considered a relationship.
