I advocate for a base64 encoded bitmap. 

Textmate should be easily able to display that and it would provide maximum flexibility for plugins as it's creation can be abstractes. 

It only would lead to less issues with path, tmp files etc.

I assume the mark icons for the color should be persistent, but, as far as I know, it's only possible to have one icon per line. If one runs a build command for Sass or LESS which use marks to report errors they would override the colors.
