Yes. It would be bad to referance on the local file system because the
component implementation may be residing on a remote machine. It would
also seem useful to me to tie a pixmap to each component which can be
used by IDE's etc.

I don't see why the pixmap couldn't be included as an oaf_attribute in
XPM format. After all, it would probably take less room than
description-ko :)
