[Owncloud] OwnCloud - Question about fetching favicons in bookmark section

[Jon Spriggs]

How about this for a favicon workflow?

1) Download favicon. It's the first time it's been used, store it as
www.example.com.0.ico and add that favicon to the database.
2) Second person adds a bookmark in www.example.com. Download the
favicon, and then diff it against each of the dns-named favicons which
have been downloaded - currently only www.example.0.ico - if it's the
same, delete the downloaded favicon and re-use www.example.com.0.ico
in the database. If it's not the same store it as
www.example.com.1.ico.
3) User deletes their bookmark which is the last instance of
www.example.com.0.ico. System deletes www.example.com.0.ico from the
system.
