Title:
Option to use no icon even when default icon is set

Area:
icons, entries, comments

Summary:
One should have the ability to choose "No icon" even when default icon has been set.

Description:
Sometimes no icon, including the default, is appropriate to the situation. And sometimes the situation itself (say, a long line of +1 comments) is better served by having no icons. The icon selector should have a "none" option.

LJ use to have this option too, but it disappeared somewhere along the way.

I would really really really like this.

I could technically fake it with a 1-pixel transparent image and keyword 'none' except then any alt text, etc., would be very distracting to screen reader users, I imagine.
