- We may overload this method for this case. Please make the changes to the ion interface if you want the overloaded method available for these kinds of data sources.
- Those two icons are coming. The Oxygen folks have not created those yet.

> Possible patch to allow the NOAA weather ion to determine the weather condition icon as defined at <http://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/weather.php>  This allows it to work with the weather-wallpaper plasmoid as well as display the condition icon in the weather plasmoid.  Categorization/mappings of condition to icon are arbitrary (as I saw fit) so feel free to point out any improvements or errors.

Wouldn't it be more flexible for it to only require an IonInterface::ConditionIcons as an argument, or maybe overload it for compatibility purposes?
