[JDEV] Emoticons...

[TerraAccess]

Thanks Mattias I really appreciate you taking the time to 
help me with this...
but maybe I phrased my question wrong.

On my emoticon popup when a user rolls over an emoticon
I display a text description of the emoticon. I'm looking for 
somewhere in the xml to define this text description. 

The only way I see right not to do this would be to chop the 
extension off the file and use the descriptive name for the 
name of the file. I do think it would be a little cleaner
to set this in the xml though. 

I would rather not change the schema but I don't see a clean
alternative.
