Although I agree with most of the disadvantages raised here, I thought
I'd throw out a couple of advantages, on the flip side...

- if selected iconography transcends language barriers, translation
may not be necessary
- requires minimal real estate requirements (ideal for mobile, other
small screens) 

Many iphone apps use icon-based navigation, although the icons are
typically accompanied by written names.
