Looking at the DOM, I suspect we already have enough for distinct
selectors in all three of the contexts I identified, provided having a
classname for the Type (vs portal_type) is sufficient (I think so).

My sense is that there will be a sufficiently large contingent of
users (esp. in intranet/extranet use) wanting type icons in some
places, that there will be common desire to make this a control panel
(even if said control panel is shipped in a popular/hypothetical
add-on).  I am unsure on best way to load conditional CSS resources,
but I'm hoping to figure out something that only involves static
resources (might be JavaScript).

My personal sense/opinion is that structure pattern ought to show type
icons/glyphs by default (in lieu of requiring user to enable type
column, which isn't as visually immediate).
