When it's come up before, I've argued that icons shouldn't be a matter
for the main XBEL DTD, but that implementations should be allowed to add
extension data for icons.
XBEL 1.1 does have
<!ATTLIST bookmark
%node.att;
%url.att;
icon NMTOKEN #IMPLIED

But NMTOKEN doesn't really make sense for an icon (ENTITY, anyone?
