What's the bug number?

This sounds a lot like UA sniffing (except you would be sniffing the platform). 
This is quite problematic, IMO - as you would need to target particular version 
of each OS. iOS 7, for instance, is rumored to have changed it's look and feel 
to be flat. While Windows Phone 9 might decide to go all blurry and add lens 
flares. Android has also gone through various fairly radical redesigns, while 
OEMs have also customized the look and feel ontop. Other platforms might 
innovate on their look and feel even faster than Android, Windows, and iOS.

Having said that, I see that PhoneGap supports such a thing [1]. For example:

<icon src="icons/android/ldpi.png" gap:platform="android" gap:density="ldpi" />
