I don't see it as showing off.  Instead it is giving a visual clue to the 
reader.

Or stick it in the top level directory and use href="/favicon.ico", or an 
icons directory and use href="/icons/favicon.ico"

Either way, you don't have to change the URL to run a copy on a test 
server.

P.S. I have just noticed that Firefox 14.01 doesn't display favicon in 
the URL bar any more.  Here I am getting a grey blob which when hovered 
over gives

"This website does not supply identity information"

and when clicked on will allow you to display more information about the 
page.  From here you can access a Permissions tab which allows selective 
blocking of cookies, images, pop up windows and more for that page.
