Actually, it's a bad point that leads to proprietary designs ("optimized 
for...").
Konqui features favicon, and is faster during operation. And it's available 
for embedded devices.
You should also mention that since Moz 0.6 Netscape is a "product based on 
open standards" - and visiting StyleSheet pages with one of their 4.7 
browsers shows there this leads to. No argument against Mozilla/Gecko, but 
AOL own Netscape, so this is not worth discussing about.

Hm, I do Konqui-driven web development at work, does this count? :-)
