[locationaware-specs] Icon Design

[Doug Turner]

This feels more like the lock icon rather than RSS -- the lock icon  
signifies to some degree that the page is from a trusted source (lets  
not hash on words here, k?), whereas RSS and microsummaries are signs  
that there is alternate content.

What is the action when the user clicks on the icon?

Regards,
Doug
