Hi Marcos,

The <icon> element can be used zero-or-more times, for example:

<widgets xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets">
  <icon src="icons/medium.png"/>
  <icon src="icons/big.svg" width="256" height="256"/>
  <icon src="icons/tiny.png"/>
</widget>

Is there a way to differentiate the icons  eg "mobile", "deskop",
"favicon" etc ?

In the above example (taken from the spec) the names suggest tiny,
medium and big - how would an application know which to choose?

thanks
