I agree, see my previous mail.

I agree but for a different reasons. The reason here is that "icon.png" is added as a result of Step 7 "Process the Configuration Document" whereas "locales/en/icon.jpg" is added as a result of Step 9 "Process the Default Icons". Since Step 9 happens after Step 7, the JPG icon happens after the PNG.

Actually, I have a problem with the way the test suite result are expressed. Since there is no normative algorithm for the selection of the actual displayed icon, why should the test suite results but so strict. In particular, why does an implementation need to list all icons, if its policy is to select the first one, correct according to the spec, and that matches its needs. For example, one could say:

"To pass, the icons list must contain a pointer to either "locales/en/icon.jpg" or "icon.png", which is at the root of the widget. If both are listed, the list needs to be in the correct order, where "locales/en/icon.jpg" must be first and "icon.png" must be second."
