Recommended Metadata Elements for Google Chrome Shortcuts...

15. How can I customize the appearance and function of Google Chrome shortcuts that point to my page?
[google.com...]

<meta name="application-name" content="Gmail" />
<meta name="description" content="Google's approach to email" />
<meta name="application-url" content="http://www.gmail.com" />
<link rel="icon" href=gmail_32x32.png sizes="32x32" />
<link rel="icon" href=gmail_48x48.png sizes="48x48" />

^ I want to point out that favicon branding is imperative for all documents. :)

Shameless bump...

There are two new meta elements here to observe that I've not seen much discussion on.

The shortcut title

<meta name="application-name" content="Gmail"/>

The URL to open when the shortcut is clicked

<meta name="application-url" content="http://www.gmail.com"/>

And then of course I cannot leave out the importance of the shortcut icon(s)...

<link rel="icon" href="gmail_32x32.png" sizes="32x32"/>
<link rel="icon" href="gmail_48x48.png" sizes="48x48"/>

Have any of you implemented these new elements as of yet? ;)
