Well you are seeing the correct favicon. Indeed it does set the favicon for the individual articles as well. However the favicon should show in the URL bar if I go directly to the feed.xml page. I had a friend try it today at work and it worked for him in Firefox 2.0 on Windows. Mine however did not get it to display directly on my Firefox 2.0 on my mac. However, there are other feeds that I can go directly to and they will have a favicon, here is an example I just searched and found, there will be a favicon right on the feed page:
http://feeds.kottke.org/ma
I am actually more concerned with the fact that my favicon does not appear in my RSS reader. I use NewNewsWire Lite (http://www.newsgator.com/
I got a suggestion to restart my computer in case it is a stubborn caching issue, so I'm going to try that right now but I don't expect any different results. As for IE, I would just be happy if it worked correctly in my RSS reader.
Thanks for looking into my problem,
Joe

I'm using Firefox 2.0. If I click the link, Firefox asks me to add this RSS feed, which creates a standard orange RSS icon in my bookmark folder. Inside this folder is the link to your feed. If I click the bookmark the favicon is fetched and displayed next to the bookmark. I see a black square with a vertical white bar in it, a white horizontal bar behind it.
What browser/reader are you using? Maybe that's the problem. I've been using favicon.ico in the past, and especially IE handles them badly.
