Comment(by llamaXxX):

 Probably not the best place for this, but might I offer an idea?  Support
 for multiple smiley sets in the core.  Like themes and plugins, they could
 live under /wp-content/icons/, let's say, one set per folder.  An image
 file -> smiley mapping could be set via a text file:

 {{{
 happy.png :) :happy:
 sad.png :( :sad:
 }}}

 By having the image and followed by the smiles it represents, it should be
 fairly easy to parse.  If the user selects to use the smiley set, the
 mapping could be set in the database somewhere, perhaps.

 Just a passing thought while reading this bug.
