It would not be a solution either. The user may be ok with the theme's icon -
but they may _not_ be. 

* Perhaps I have three PDFs, and I want to represent them as "the blue
document", "the red document" and "the green document" with some icons of mine? 
* Perhaps I have my own icon theme I use in the document for different types of
files?
* Perhaps I want the icons used to fit the desktop environment which I and my
readers may share?

Special relative to what?


> Besides, why not show a thumbnail preview as  we do on the start center?

1. Because the user didn't indicate they want that to happen.
2. Because thumbnails are often useless (e.g. audio, many kinds of multi-page
documents, or even a textual document with no special distinguishing features)
3. (Last and least) because we don't have that feature right now; it's either
an icon or a 100%-zoom view, IIANM
