To expand a bit:

- A common behavior I see would be something along the lines of. I want favicons stored, use this directory as storage point. You can dispose of them after X days if they are unused, I don't care too much about anything else. I think this likely covers 99% of the apps.

- If someone else wants to do something more complicated I guess they should be able to override things, and then probably providing detailed APIs like this patch does makes sense. Epiphany might be one of those cases, since we might need custom storage of favicons for performace reasons at some point.

I guess my point is: I think what this patch provides seems like a barebones/detailed kind of API, which is OK, but I wonder if it makes sense to request every app to develop their own thing when we could cover most use cases with some code on the webkit side. Those are my 2 cents anyway.
