Looks pretty good! Can't say much on the technical details, maybe
Stippi has things to add/correct. From the FileTypes preferences, it
looks like ".icon" would be a recognized extension. However, filetypes
limited to Haiku generally don't use extensions and trust the MIME
typing (also see People and Email files). A HVIF's MIME type is
"application/x-vnd.Haiku-icon". All HVIF files start with "IMSG", don't
know if that's the "magic" in the infobox thing.
Haiku Inc. only holds the trademarks to the Haiku logos and name, the
HVIF format is MIT licensensed as the rest of Haiku's original code. So
I don't know if "owner" is even applicable. If so, maybe "Haiku
project" would be OK.
You could add a link to zuMi's icon site
http://zumi.xoom.it/myhaiku/system/index.html
for some examples. Maybe also to the user guide page on Icon-O-Matic
http://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/applications/icon-o-matic.html,
as that would illustrate a bit the concepts of path, shape and style.
