The good news is that if I did this in Yelp, it would
probably be a breeze to make it work for DocBook also,
using the same mechanism.

The trick is getting it to work when building for the
web.  The stylesheets alone aren't going to be able to
handle this.  Maybe yelp-tool/gnome-doc-tool could do
something clever, but I don't know of a command-line
utility to look up icons.  I'm more and more wanting
to write yelp-tool in C.
