You are correct that it isn't in the spec (yet?).  It is in the Tango 
icons.  Part of the problem, I guess.  Tango and the Icon Naming spec 
aren't 100% the same.

IAC, Tango has this and GNOME has added this:

So, I think that we are going to need this.

I'm not 100% certain about anything.  However, branding seems to be 
traditional in browsers -- yet Firefox/Thunderbird has dropped it.  I 
wouldn't like it if the KDE browsers didn't have a KDE branded throbber 
when run with a KDE icon theme.
