It seems odd to me that we depend on a file name or specific URI to use an icon. It seems that there is no reason for an icon to get a unique key that the applications uses. Databases have done this for ages so I don't see why there wouldn't be a file dispatcher or interface for applications to register icons with in order to get a unique key. Has this been discussed before? It seems that adding abstraction allows for more flexibility and for better integration across desktops.
