Scanner fails to acknowledge the case when the /browserconfig.xml file is provided

[alrra]

General information

By default, starting with IE11 on Windows 8.1, IE will request the /browserconfig.xml file when a user clicks/touches the pin site / add to favorites button. If the /browserconfig.xml file is available, IE will use the tile images specified in it.

From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn455106.aspx:

When a user first pins your site, it's displayed as a static tile on the Start screen. By default, the image on the tile is your website's favicon or a default IE11 logo. You can customize the image by adding metadata tags to your webpage's markup or adding a browser config file.
...
You can save this XML file as browserconfig.xml and save it at the root of your server. IE11 automatically reads the file when the user pins the site.

Issue

The scanner fails to acknowledge the case described above, and informs the user that: "We've found that this webpage hasn't built a Windows 8.1 Start Screen tile..."

Test page

• http://demo.html5boilerplate.com (the site doesn't contain any tile related <meta> tags, but has the browserconfig.xml file and the tile images in the root).

Great bug report! Although IE10 users technically still need the meta tags, they are a shrinking group and cluttering the HTML with meta tags is not such a good idea anyway. I'll take a look at this.
