Except this would certainly not help keeping attributes into the
small_data section of the inode.
Btw, there is an unimplemented thing in svg tracker, the "emblem"
stuff... basically stores the name of the icon as attribute. That makes
it easy to change the icons at once (theming) and should stay in the
small_data section.
