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?
<duck/>).
