[JDEV] More avatar thoughts

[temas]

Well the profiles JIG is exploring a full suite of profile information
and I wouldn't want to cramp their space for a simple icon.  We
originally talked about the VCard picture space, but requesting an
entire vcard for a little icon is a bit bulky and overkill.  I guess
that's why I would prefer a simple namespace for this at the time.
Perhaps we can evolve it some once the Data Manager grows into something
a bit more usable than XDB currently is.
