Well, that's why I want to resolve it with standard URL's. Your client
can then map the standard URL's to whatever icon library you want,
(So you don't need agreement :-) or use internal ones (so it's fast).
And of course, as Frans van Hoesel suggested, clients should make sure
they cache these things.

Pitty I'm not a client writer, then I could stop chatting and implement 
something :-).
