Re: symbols - was Re: Data-* Attributes (Take 2)

Hi Lisa,

On my proposal page
<https://github.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/wiki/Prototypes-with-data-dash-*-(Take-2)#attribute-to-provide-symbols-goal-images-to-replace-on-screen-text>,
I am suggesting that, yes, in fact we can likely get symbols simply
via the *various
token values* we've declared for data-action, data-purpose, and
data-destination: symbol sets will need to map-to (or otherwise align with)
the tokens we've documented.

As an alternative, I suggest that data-symbol attribute only serve as a **hint*
*to a symbol, in those cases when a specific symbol is not already present
on the end-users computer (i.e. it is/would-be a fall-back symbol).

Make sense?

JF
