Really, any icon or weapon model released later than Titanium could be swapped for one similar that exists in Titanium. If the icon on the item is a new bag icon, you would just have it swap it for an old bag icon. If the item was a new weapon icon, like a sword, you would just set it to swap that icon for a sword one in Titanium and so on. I am sure there are maybe a few miscellaneous icons and models that might not have very good matches between the clients, but I am sure something could be figured out to use in those cases as well.
For now, you can always just replace the icon in the items table if you want to use one newer than Titanium. I would be interested to see feedback from the rest of the dev team to see what they think of handling conversions like I mentioned.
As far as patching directly from SOE goes, I think that too is still a grey area at best. Yes, it is possible, and maybe more legal since they are already hosting the files openly for anyone to access. But, I think one of the big concerns is that we don't want to be associated with anything that might catch SOE's eye and have them put focus on stopping it.
If you want to use a patcher for your server, go for it, but you probably shouldn't post it (or links to/about it) here.
