I think that their purpose is not to be self-comprehensive, they
should be used along with text.

I'm not saying that we should forbid to use icons from other
libraries, just that we should encourage the use of silk for all small
icons by providing them in our webapp. If we don't agree I'll just put
icons for my current needs but I think it's not the best option.

We need that too.
On a related topic Laurent and I have started to work on pre-defined
styles (ie: css classes) for usual layout needs (tables, pages lists,
tabs, columns, etc).
See http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Crumbs/Tables for example.
