An icon is purely presentation only insofar as any media object is
purely presentational. It is a symbolic representation of the document
and is therefore an associated resource, not a stylistic attribute.

Defined as such, the icon doesn't even need to be visual--one could
conceivably have an audio "icon", which would use sound waves/time
instead of colors/position. Though I don't know what you'd use it for.
