In case Phoenix hackers adopted Xr/Xc to its codebase, SVG icons can be used, 
at least on all LInux'es andUNIX'es.
For systems with aged XFree86 (< 4.3.0), SVG icons can be pre-rendered and 
used as PNG icons.

I certanly appreciate idea of Phoenix with native GNOME and KDE interfaces.
Mozilla itself is very slow, and I use it only *offline*, when system response 
time is not that critical.
Fast browser with native UI is exactly what community needs.
