It could work. If I am recalling the end of the tale correctly, Ichabod Crane becomes the headless horseman, after the previous one removes his head. (It's been about 40 years since I read it, so the details are a bit fuzzy).

If that's the case (and even if it's not, this could be an interesting OUaT Twist on the story), Ichabod could be from the Land without Color, and for some reason decided to journey to Wonderland, where his head was removed. His head could still be in Wonderland, but his headless body was returned to the LWC, where it haunts the land looking for it's lost head.

And to tie that into the upcoming plot, maybe Ichabod has information about Merlin's whereabouts, but forces the Nevengers to retrieve his head from Wonderland before he'll provide the information. (Not to mention that having a mouth would make communication so much easier).

Far-fetched, to be sure, and full of speculation, but given the writing staff of Once, they could probably pull something like this off.
