Isn't an icon which shows the file type of a linked document considered 
to be 'decoration'? It's certainly not content like an illustration or a 
graphical button which links to some place.

Decoration should be done in CSS, real content in the HTML. If someone 
would ask me I'd say that icons for link types (mail/internal/external) 
and file types are decoration.
