Icon Naming: animations/process-working, & animations/process-idle

I note that the Icon Naming spec includes:
animations/process-idle
animations/process-working
With KDE, these would replace the multiple image PNG called:
actions/kde. With cross platform themes and icon naming, this raised
the question of whether this icon should incorporate branding as has
been traditional in browsers. I don't think that it would be
satisfactory to see a branded icon in another brand of application.
So, my recommendation is that we should have generic versions of these
two icons with the above names as well as:
animations/process-idle-<brand>
animations/process-working-<brand>
so that KDE would have:
animations/process-idle-kde
animations/process-working-kde
which would only be used for KDE applications (e.g. Konqueror) and there
would be a fall back to the generic icons:
animations/process-idle
animations/process-working
when the branded one wasn't available in the chosen icon style. IIUC,
this would be consistent with the Icon Naming spec.
