Icon Naming Spec

[Diana Fong]

Sounds good.

I've just put up a page on FreeDesktop for icons that are not covered in 
the latest Icon Naming Specification. [1]

Well phrased by Dobey...This should be a place where people can list 
icons they think they need, but don't know what appropriate names should 
be, so that we can clarify things and move the icons into addendum specs 
or the base spec, as appropriate.

Please check occasionally, comment and help give these icons a name.
