    Specification compliance of icon names

    Icon names without trailing stars already exist in the freedesktop.org icon naming specification. Also, the existing emblem icons need to be blown up to full icon size once emblems are done with automatic resizing and placement.

     * 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 emblems/ (after renaming) so they need to be added. Descriptions taken from the specification.

     emblem-important
       The icon used as an emblem for files and directories that are
       marked as important by the user.

       The icon used as an emblem for files and directories which can
       not be written to by the user.

       that are inaccessible.
    

    To do for Oxygen *and* the spec

     emblem-audio
       The icon used as an emblem for folders and media containing

       The icon used as an emblem for folders and media containing
       video content, such as video collection folders or video DVDs.
       (Editor's note: Let's extract this from places/folder-video.)
