I think you did not understand what we are talking about.

We are not talking about adding dependencies.  We are talking about
the location of the icons for displaying the information about the
.oafinfo: file system or embedded.  So I think your opinion is completely
irrelevant for this topic.

I sustain that embedding is lame because it will be only useful for a
very tiny fraction of users and make it hard for every user to add
icons, edit it, manipulate it, extract it.

I believe you are very confused.
