+---------- multiple email addresses? ----------
| Is there a convention for dealing with multiple email addresses per picon?

Not a good one, I'm afraid. 'faces' supports table files listing
equivalent addresses, but not all other picons-using software supports
them. One can use filesystem links in the picons databases, or just
install the picon in multiple places. I don't really use any of these
in the distributed picons databases since they make them unmanageable
for me (tables or links), or are wasteful (multiple copies).

So, for domain picons, I insist that multiple copies not be identical,
but distinguish themselves in at least some small way. For user picons,
I don't encourage more than one picon, but have more flexibility here,
particularly if the multiple picons are independent and distinguished.
