Simplepie has a handy function to retrieve and store the favicon of a given source. Would you consider adding this feature to simplefeed? It allows for a better and quicker visual recognition of feeds.

SimplePie only grabs the URL of the favicon, no storage:

Seems like instead of storing specific stuff, storing the *entire* feed meta data with each feed & feed item in a serialized object might be beneficial.

Simplepie does some caching of favicons. I can't say I care about the entire feed meta data, but to me displaying a favicon next to a feed item in a 'river of news' type of page (many feed items from many different sources) is essential from a usability pov.
