I have it in both places (depending on the page) -- in theory, 
according to W3, it should be in the head -- but it doesn't seem to 
make any difference.

Unless... the file I have in the top level as favicon.ico is a stopsign 
(which is a real live old xbm file, and shouldn't work.) It is a stop 
sign. The circular icon is a blue celtic knot, which is just a classic 
gif.

The server is Mac OS X running Apache 1.3.27. There are apparently some 
significant differences between 1.3 and 2.0, I haven't tracked them 
down yet. Apple includes both, but hasn't switched to 2.0 because of 
some incompatibility between the old and new versions.
