[oats-sig] mulberry: fruit & vegetable topic icons &....

Steve,

sorry for adding to the confusion, as you say, got there in the end..

Steve

please read my previous mails, if necessary again...
there's a large number of reasons this is worthwhile**

<use> means that one is not copying data around the web but urls  
instead.
there are many reasons this alone is good practice.

probably, it may be worth experimenting yourself?
reading only takes one so far....

cheers

**also I raised the issue of chunking, which helps with generalisation.
a vegetable icon would be useful.

maintenance, updating, copyright and contact are all more easily  
managed.

try this out in amaya to see how it works in practice.
one is copying and pasting an absolute url in a use, not the <symbol>

if one is to have a visual search engine and authoring tool, for  
people with little or no text use, then...
the chunking is critical, how else would one navigate?
it needs to be fast.

18 icons in 2kb relies on use referencing other use
this can be very effective at cutting down file size.
