agree with toplevel icon.svg... no data/

Are there other requirements beyond just svg?  I.e., we need: an easy
way to review them for acceptance into the set of "official" charms.

Will we need to watermark them in review or something to denote
officialness or will that be done via overlay in the browser(s)?

Not that I'm a big believer in policing stuff, but there's no review of
any kind for the majority of charms displayed by the store.. the
non-official ones.  Anyone sticking any icon.svg into branches that
simply follow a certain naming convention in launchpad will currently be
picked up and displayed by the store.  Don't know if that'll be a
problem or not... probably not given the ubuntu code of conduct, but
it's at least worth noting.
