Specification compliance of icon names

With MIME types, there is no complete list of icon names in the spec. Therefore, they are divided in categories:

Standard FD.o MIME Types

This is the complete list in the FD.o spec:

 application-x-executable        <- actions/exec
 audio-x-generic                 <- sound
 font-x-generic
 image-x-generic
 package-x-generic
 text-html
 text-x-generic
 text-x-generic-template
 text-x-script
 video-x-generic
 x-office-address-book
 x-office-calendar
 x-office-document
 x-office-presentation
 x-office-spreadsheet

These are included in Tango:

 application-certificate
 image-x-generic
 text-x-preview
 x-office-document-template
 x-office-drawing
 x-office-drawing-template
 x-office-presentation-template
 x-office-spreadsheet-template

It has not yet been determined which Tango icon we will need to use.
