It would be nice to have Icon API in Commons to provide a fix for the Main Menu Icon Issue, where Icons could not be added with menu attributes module.

Reproducing the Attributes Menu Issue

1. Create an additional icon image and css style. For testing yxou could copy an exiting one and rename the styles class name.
2. create a new menu item you like to add the icon to.
3. enter the classes name in the menu attributes for m on the main menu link creation page

As result you will see that the link comes up but there will be no icon above the link

It would be a very nice feature to user Icon API and provide the ability to use icon fonts for the main menu and for other menus as well.
An additional advance of this will be that the bug I described above will be fixed as soon as the feature will be available. I have seen this suggestion in this task as well but it is still not done.

If this is to be done, I would like to see it be a system wide integration, and not just menus. Icons are used for various document types and statuses, so allowing some form of customization there would be optimal.
