Favicon, icon, shortcut icon, apple-touch-icon: Are there any others?

It appears based on this and this that Android will use the rel type of apple-touch-icon-precomposed or apple-touch-icon, BUT that for it to work you need to use a fully qualified url, e.g.: 

<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed"
      href="http://www.example.com/custom_icon.png" />

or:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon"
      href="http://www.example.com/custom_icon.png" />

The caveat is that this seems to be for Android 2.1 update 1 & Webkit 3.1. The Android developer documentation does mention a method in android.webkit that is event when the apple-touch-icon is retrieved.
