Please close it WONTFIX.

Assigning a random CSS to a set of SVGs in a random theme, without any clear
API for what CSSS classes are expected in the file (so all themes must follow
the same rules??), or how to handle versioning (how to deal with a CSS created
for older SVGs, which didn't require CSS class X), would introduce many
problems to users. Making something like "CSS as extension" would have all the
same problems. That will bring multiple problems for users when things don't
work as intended, for *no* practical benefit.

It's OK to have the CSS near the SVGs, in the way that the CSS is part of the
icon set. So it's the icon set's author's responsibility to prepare it
consistent, and everything is in order; there's no unnecessary complications
with "standardization" of the CSS subtype that our themes might use, etc.

And it's OK (for user) to just have 5 identical themes with all SVGs being
bit-to-bit identical, but which have different SVGs. The user would just have
several variants of icon sets; the disk footprint is negligible; and no UI is
required. The identical SVGs are just an implementation detail. No need to make
the UI more complex; no need to change *anything* at all. Just make your SVG
icon set include and use the CSS properly (as an author/contributor), and
upload the end result.
