[Tango-artists] Facing direction of icons

Yup. I agree that the "facing front" is the main theme for most Tango icons 
today. But there are some objects that are not recognizable if they are 
facing front. Like the video camera icon for example, it was correctly 
designed to be facing left just because a front facing wouldn't be too 
clear. Thing is though, this "left" facing must be mentioned in the 
guidelines page as the desired fallback. If you don't mention that, an 
artist might choose to design his icon facing right or left. And that's 
what's going to create a future problem. I think that this is an important 
point to be added in the guidelines. Jacob?

thanks :)
