Can't get syntax highlighting to work

I am trying to get kate to syntax highlight  for the unicon programmaing 
language, but I get no highlighting, and no messages.

I took the python.xml file and editted it (see below), then placed it in 
~/.kde/share/apps/katepart. Kate complained when there was a syntax error in 
the file, which I fixed. But it did not recognize my <filename>.icn source 
text and colour it. the Unicon syntax is in its list of possibilities, along 
with the *.icn extension filter.

I tried it with and without a 

	mimetype="text/x-unicon"

specification - ther was no difference in the result.

What else needs to be done?
