I might do a pull if I have time later this week, but maybe someone else would like to handle this. To go along with #5, information could be taken from Gruber’s How to Create Retina-Caliber Favicons.

John talks about what applications he has tried and his experiences with them, as well as recommend a winning application: Marchand’s Icon Slate.

He also mentions an oddity with Apple’s favicon, which might need to be researched and added to the image tables for the sake of completion:

Theirs has four resources: two each at 16 and 32 px dimensions. […] The first two icons in Apple’s file use alpha channels, but the second two seem to have hard-coded anti-aliasing artifacts.
