That's for media types though. According to the spec the fallback for
devices is understood as <primary function>-<manufacturer>-<model>.
Falling back on "headphone" if "headphone-headset" is not present
sounds fine, but then needs to be specified as such imho.
"drive-removable-media" which is also in the spec would make no sense
as "drive-removable"; same goes for "multimedia-player".
True, but there is a lot of uses of this kind of fallbacks, it is often used for mimetypes, and applications, I’ve seen themes with internet-mail-thunderbird icon and internet-mail fallback (btw, applications/internet-mail and applications/internet-browser are not even in icon-naming-spec :-O)
Maybe we should even add this fallback logic to icon-theme-spec?
In a more generic way: Agreed on computer-laptop. Also agreed on
audio-headphones and audio-headphones-headset. Maybe
media-flash-sdcard instead of media-sdcard.
Why not.
I suppose it would make sense to move things to a mobile- prefix if
you go with that. mobile-pda (move it there), mobile-phone (does not
replace phone, however would fall back to it I suppose),
This is a problem I had also, most themes have a mobile phone icon in devices/phone, and when you DO need an icon for phones, you’re screwed.
mobile-phone-smartphone, mobile-tablet, mobile-tablet-reader (?
instead of ebook-reader). We could also move multimedia-player to
mobile-multimedia-player.
not sure about ebook specializing tablet and multimedia-player in mobile…
I didn't want to nab the name "fax" as that is what you would call the
document itself. If a single-word logic must be retained, we could go
with one of "phone-fax", "telecopier" or "phone-telecopier". Anyway,
for some reason I don't think there'll be too many actual users of
that icon :)
devices/fax can be used as the document itself would not be in devices.
telecopier is also ok. Not sure about putting that under phone prefix…
We could move router to network-router. modem can stay where it's at.

Forgot two in my original email: drive-harddisk-ssd, for SSDs (falls
back to drive-harddisk) and media-sim for SIM cards (need it on phones
and tablets).
