I should point out another problem with using some API to have column icons for books with extra data: the answer might be wrong. The answer from column icon templates is cached in the GUI until something changes. Unfortunately for this: extra data can be added/removed outside of calibre, so calibre doesn't know that something changed. The "answer" will be wrong until something does change or the GUI is refreshed.
