Description

This would obviously break themes with custom icons quite badly, so it needs to be thought about carefully.

Is it appropriate? Will it make sense to themers? What about our "tiny" icons 12x12 ?

Themes are going to break in bigger ways than this when moving to Moodle 2.0, so I don't see this as a major issue. Furthermore, I don't think there are enough themes out there using custom icon sets to justify not making the change IF the change is for the greater good. Furtherfurthermore, my bet is that most people who are using custom icon sets are doing so because they find the current set unattractive. This change should bring them back into the fold.

Perhaps I should post this in the community forum?

Yes, start a discussion, thanks. Personally I agree with your logic but let's see what others think.

Note: The "Tango naming scheme" is actually a standard freedesktop specification. Here's the spec: http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html
