Thanks for your clarifications. 

I would just like to mention that if we have set of discussionable icons, I 
can offer to set up an icon test tomorrow - and if we jointly spread the word, 
we would get results within 2 or 3 days.

Don't want to get on your nerves with that - just want to show that it could 
be quicker to find a solution by means of user based voting than by a rational 
discussions under experts.

In any way - we can do icon testing with the next - community - version.
 
Best,
Björn
