I understand that... but i am just struggling to figure out how the 
ShapefielDataStore can figure out which icon to return based only on 
information present in a shapefile. Can you answer my question. Is the 
intent to come up with a well defined icon for it, throw it in teh 
shapefile module, and return it?

Cool, done. Make it a map and only have parameters set which can 
logically be set. Its simple, logical, and we dont have to add any new 
interfaces. I like it. Go Chris Holmes.
