Specifying a non-existing icon in a style creates a new empty file

If you specify a non-existant external graphic in a style, when you try to render the style an empty file of the same name will be created in that location. For example, using the following point symbolizer will create the file icon.svg in your style directory:

&lt;PointSymbolizer&gt;
  &lt;Graphic&gt;
    &lt;ExternalGraphic&gt;
      &lt;OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="icon.svg"/&gt;
      &lt;Format&gt;image/svg+xml&lt;/Format&gt;
    &lt;/ExternalGraphic&gt;
    &lt;Size&gt;20&lt;/Size&gt;
  &lt;/Graphic&gt;
&lt;/PointSymbolizer&gt;

While this example uses a relative path, the same thing will occur if you use an absolute file path.
