New issue 1022 by ttim...@gmail.com: Option to avoid inline images on
favicons (pagespeed_no_transform for <link>)
https://code.google.com/p/modpagespeed/issues/detail?id=1022

Using pagespeed version: 1.8.31.5-4307

We have a number of <link> tags on our site that look like this:
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href=".." />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href=".." />
...
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-32x32.png" sizes="32x32"/>
<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content=".."/>
etc.

These are for favicons on a variety of browsers and platforms. Because
they're small, pagespeed automatically inlines all of them, even though
most browsers will only ever use (and download) one of them. Thus the
processing time is wasted, and the HTML is actually inflated unnecessarily.

It would be fantastic if the "rel" attribute could be natively 'understood'
by pagespeed and recognised favicon <link>s treated differently from other
images, or, failing that, to allow the use of "pagespeed_no_transform" on
<link> tags. I've tried adding it, but I guess it only works on <img> tags
at the moment.
