I think the second part of my message (the one quoted above by you)
answers your concerns.

I figured you'd probably come up with another salvo. . .
Anyway, I don't think j.o will object to hosting a reference set of
emoticons.  (If it did, I'm sure plenty of other interested parties
would gladly supply their own repositories; they probably will anyway,
even if j.o supplies one.)

Of course doing them in a better way than mine should not introduce any
of the problems mine has.  All I'm pointing out is that the method you
seem to be proposing does in fact introduce many new problems without
solving some of the fundamental problems that the method I've described
(and fleshed out a in much more detail thanks to your rather constructive
criticism) addresses quite elegantly, so I'd hesitate to call that method
any better than the one I'm proposing.
