 *  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
 *** badly named in the spec imho, let's try to get this changed

To do for Oxygen

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

 call-start
   The icon used for initiating or accepting a call. Should be
   similar to the standard cellular call pickup icon, a green
   handset with ear and mouth pieces facing upward.
   (Says the spec... I think we can be more flexible.)

 call-stop
   The icon used for stopping a current call. Should be similar
   to the standard cellular call hangup icon, a red handset
   with ear and mouth pieces facing downward.
   (Says the spec... I think we can be more flexible.)

 document-send
   The icon for the send action. Should be an arrow pointing up
   and away from a hard disk.
   (Says the spec... I think we can be more flexible.)

 document-page-setup
   The icon for the page setup action of a document editor.

 edit-find-replace
   The icon for the find and replace action.

 help-faq
   The icon for the FAQ item in the Help menu.
   (Editor's note: not used in KDE either, at the moment.)

 insert-object
   The icon for the insert object action of an application.

 mail-send-receive
   The icon for the send and receive action of an
   electronic mail application.

 system-software-install
   The icon used for the desktop's software installer application.

Summary of the suggested changes and 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.

 archive-extract
   The icon used for the action that extracts files and directories
   from an archive.

 archive-insert
   The icon used for the action that inserts files and directories
   into an archive.

 archive-remove
   The icon used for the action that removes files and directories
   from an archive.

 document-export
   The icon used for the action that saves all or part of
   the current document, often in a format that cannot be
   opened again with this application.

 document-import
   The icon used for the action that adds the contents of
   external files to the current document.

 document-preview
   The icon used for previewing a document in read-only mode.

 document-print-preview
   Should probably be document-preview-print, so that there's
   a possibility of having document-preview (which is a better
   fallback anyways than document-print).

 help-contextual

   in the Help menu.

   The icon for the insert table action of an application.
