Just a small note.. don't forget that in amsn2, we'd like to
have skins independent of the smiley set... so users can
choose whatever smilies they want without changing the skin.
and StringView has 'image', shouldn't that be enough ? an
image is how you represent a smiley, the UI doesn't 'need'
to know if it's a smiley or just some random image, as long
as it displays it properly.
unless you want it to be ("smiley", "smiley_name"), and the
UI would go get the smiley's path, load Image from it,
etc... then it makes sense, but I don't think it's
necessary, it will just be a code duplication in all uis...
the core would be better off doing it instead.
