OK, so the icon could exist online as well: <icon src="http://phonegap.com/foo/bar/res/hdpi/icon.png"; />
I have no idea what this problem is trying to solve, or why we need the icon tag other than to conform to the spec for the sake of conforming to the spec. I don't think the icon should change at runtime, and I think it's fine if some of the paths don't exist on all platforms, since you can have multiple icon tags, right?
