Skinning an icon does not pick up base skin's non-overridden properties

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-636
             Project: MyFaces Trinidad
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Skinning
            Reporter: Jeanne Waldman
            Priority: Minor


Skinning an icon does not pick up base skin's non-overridden properties.
Skinning a style does pick up the base skin's non-overridden properties.
This is inconsistent.

Let's say the purple skin has this in it:

af|selectOrderShuttle::reorder-up-icon {
        content: url(/skins/purple/images/shuttleOrderUp.png);
        width: 16px;
        height: 16px;
  border: 2px black solid;
}

And the skin writer wants to override the icon. He'd probably do this:

af|selectOrderShuttle::reorder-up-icon {
        content: url(/skins/purple/images/prev.png);
}

and the skin writer would expect the width/height/border to be picked up as 
they do when you skin "styles".

What actually happens, however, that the icon is overridden completely. None of 
the base skin's icon's non-overridden attributes are picked up.

The styles and the icons should work consistently. Everyone is familiar with 
how you extend styles, so icons should work the same way.

I know this is not a simple task to implement, and it isn't critical to fix, 
but it should be tracked.
