We've discussed before having a way to include a themed
icon in a Mallard document.  This is useful in a lot of
other places.  In fact, I think it's even more important
for instructions like "Click the [*] icon."  If [*] looks
like {^} in HighContrast, that could be really confusing.

Maybe an icon: URI scheme would be a good way to do it.
