Script Summary: A script to add favicons next to posted links on del.icio.us

Note: I don't use del.icio.us, these days, so I haven't been maintaining this script. Might work for you, might not.

The fav.icio.us hack adds the favicon of a site next to it's bookmark on del.icio.us.

It's rather simplistic - it only bothers to try http://host/favicon.ico, rather than the correct method of parsing the <link> in the header of the page itself, but that would certainly be too expensive.

At present, it will remove the image if it doesn't load, but it may be faster, rendering-wise, to replace it with an inline generic link image. Feedback appreciated.
