Amended by s/similar similar/similar/ one day later, yes.

Well, blog entries are rarely updated, "less stable" here
just means "fresher" or "more relevant".  We can still
hope that a "real" and "stable" specification updates
the registry at some point in time (but obviously not in
2011).

Unrelated, I saw that HTML5 uses rel="icon" also for
what used to be rel="aple-touch-icon", does that mean
we can ignore apple-touch-icon, or should this still be
registered as "obsoleted by" with a pointer to HTML5
or WhatWG HTML?

Similar I'm not sure what to do about "shortcut icon",
is this required anywhere, e.g., in some IE versions?

Or is rel="shortcut icon" always the sme as rel="icon"
at least for .ICO resources (where experts claim that
using the proper MIME type might no work, and prefer
image/x-icon)?

Cheers,
 Frank
