    Specification compliance of icon names

    Icon names without trailing stars already exist in the freedesktop.org icon naming specification.

     * suggesting this for inclusion into the icon naming specification
     ** not in the spec, but let's keep it out of there anyways,
        it's not really suited to be a standard icon
    

    To do for Oxygen

    Icons that are in the spec, but not yet in Oxygen's devices/ (after renaming) so they need to be added. Descriptions taken from the specification.

     audio-card
       The icon used for the audio rendering device.
    
     camera-video
       The fallback icon for video cameras
    
     drive-optical
       The icon used for optical media drives such as CD and DVD.
    
     media-flash
       The fallback icon used for flash media, such as memory stick
       and SD.
    
     media-tape
       The icon used for generic physical tape media.
    
     network-wired
       The icon used for wired network connections.
    
     network-wireless
       The icon used for wireless network connections.
    
     pda
       This is the fallback icon for Personal Digial Assistant devices.
       Primary use of this icon is for PDA devices connected to the PC.
       Connection medium is not an important aspect of the icon. The 
       metaphor for this fallback icon should be a generic
       PDA device icon.
    


    To do for Oxygen *and* the spec

    Icons that are neither in the spec nor in Oxygen's devices/ (after renaming) but still should be added to both.

     network
       The icon used for generic network connections.
    
     media-optical-video
       The icon used for physical optical media such as CD and DVD
       containing video content.
    

    Don't know what to do with...

     cpu
       The specification does not contain any low-level processing
       units, such as CPUs or RAM. I can't think of an appropriate
       "category" name for those. The only word that I found which
       comes close was "internal-*" (internal-cpu, internal-memory, ...)
       but I'm not sure if this consistent with the rest of the
       devices category in the spec and extensible enough.
       Input and better ideas appreciated.
    

    Summary of the suggested additions

    The ones marked with * and should therefore go into the icon naming specification, presented here in a shorter list for a better overview. Including a suggested short description text like needed for inclusion in the spec.

       of headphones or earphones with a microphone.
