Most of the "old" extensions in "Web" are 12 pixels tall and various
width - I guess it's a de-facto standard (at least I try to follow
it). To solve the problem, how about the placeholders for the icons
are always redered a 16x16 pixels div, then an icon is placed inside
of it and centered vertically and horizontally, with "overflow:
hidden;" - this way, any icon smaller than 16x16 will be displayed
somewhat properly, and bigger ones will not screw up the layout?
