This isn't actually needed. By default browsers request example.com/favicon.ico
from the root folder. So, just drop your favicon.ico
right next to the index.html
and you are good to go!
The rel method is characterized as preferred by the W3C[1], but you're right that many server/browser configurations will work with the discouraged[1] method of picking up a file named favicon.ico in the root directory.
I just sort of added this for myself, there should probably be better support for disabling it with a null value...
