Is it possible to obtain a favicon of an arbitrary URL using tumbler? 
I've read the spec but I couldn't find a direct answer to this question.

It would be great to be able to D&D URLs from e.g. Firefox to the XFCE 
panel/desktop to create launchers. One problem with it is where to get 
favicons from and how to store/cache them.

Not that I'm planning to implement it (it's a bit too difficult for me 
atm), just throwing an idea. Actually, judging from some comments in the 
panel code, I'm pretty sure it is not a new idea.
