So in HTML a user can have:

If opened in Firefox, the browser will provide an icon for the filetype. I
think this is a useful scheme that other browsers could benefit from. There
is a chrome://fileicon/<path> scheme in Chromium, however it is purely
internal and not exposed to the Web. I thought that having a standard
icon:// scheme of some sort would be the best approach rather than Chromium
and Mozilla having their own browser specific schemes for icon retrieval.
What benefit is there for trying to achieve interoperability by
standardising this? Are these icons meant to be used by web content, or
meant only for internal use by the browser?
