That sounds like a pain in the rear from the users' point of view.

I actually think that just having a client side configuration that
defines regexps to replace with graphics would be interesting enough.
That way the user isn't constrained to a small number of icons bundled
with their client.

When sending the icons, via some method, to a remote client.  Who should
be responsible for checking that the images don't uncompress (format
permitting) into a 10Gb file that causes a remote DoS ?  My guess would
be the client is responsible... Hmm, I think I just answered my own
question.
