That happens because the page developer included <img> tags in the pages
themselves -- it has nothing to do with the <icon> element in web.xml, which
is there for GUI based deployment tools (which Tomcat does not have).

The 2.2 spec is not clear that this is supposed to work (although I agree
with you that it should). If Tomcat 3.x does not do this, you could submit
a feature request to make it so.
The 2.3 spec will make it mandatory that servlet URIs can be used in
<welcome-file-list>, and Tomcat 4.0 does this correctly.
