I think that is what is required, a team to first list what the
requirements for icons are then to come up with icons. I wonder if
there are any ISO standard icons we could reuse?
Not going to happen.
In OSM everyone is free to do what they want - editor writers, map style
writers, application developers. Mappers can invent new tags as they
please. Nobody is going to bother applying to some group to give them an
"official" icon. Different map styles require different icon styles anyway.
(I've heard stories of editors even using different icons for the same
thing depending on whether it is in the presets panel or on the map...)
Having said that, even though everyone is free to use any icon they want
and this will not change, many developers would probably not be unhappy
about being able to rely on suggestions. So if you and a group of people
would like to draw up a catalogue that matches all common OSM tags to
high-quality icons that everyone can use, then I'm sure many would turn
to that catalogue for guidance.
Bye
Frederik
