    Only partially ready for consumption. We already found out about which Oxygen icons already conform to the spec, but the ones that don't conform are not all listed in here yet, and there's not yet a plan at the moment on how to proceed with those.

    Specification compliance of icon names

    Icon names without notes 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 actions/ (after renaming) so they need to be added. Descriptions taken from the specification

     address-book-new
       The icon used for the action to create a new address book.
       (or "new-address-book", depending on the outcome
        of the discussion.)
    
     appointment-new
       The icon used for the action to create a new appointment
       in a calendaring application. (or "new-appointment",
       depending on the outcome of the discussion)
    
     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-about
       The icon for the About item in the Help menu.
       (Editor's note: not used in KDE, probably a copy of
        the "(i)" icon is sufficient.)
    
     help-faq
       The icon for the FAQ item in the Help menu.
       (Editor's note: not used in KDE either, at the moment.)
    
     insert-link
       The icon for the insert link action of an application.
    
     insert-object
       The icon for the insert object action of an application.

       The icon for the mark as important action of an
       electronic mail application.

       The icon for the mark as junk action of an
       electronic mail application.
    
     mail-mark-read
       The icon for the mark as read action of an
       electronic mail application.
    
     mail-mark-unread
       The icon for the mark as unread action of an
       electronic mail application.
    
     mail-send-receive
       The icon for the send and receive action of an
       electronic mail application.
    
     object-flip-horizontal
       The icon for the action to flip an object horizontally.
    
     object-flip-vertical
       The icon for the action to flip an object vertically.
    
     view-sort-ascending
       The icon used for the "Sort Ascending" item in the
       application's "View" menu, or in a button for
       changing the sort method for a list.
    
     view-sort-descending
       The icon used for the "Sort Descending" item in the
       application's "View" menu, or in a button for
       changing the sort method for a list.
    

    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.
    
     dialog-apply
       The icon used for the "Apply" button that might appear
       in dialog windows.
    
     edit
       The icon for the generic edit action.
       (Rationale: There are a lot of things that need to be edited:
        bookmarks, contacts, todos, away messages, fill/stroke colors,
        app specific item properties of any kind, ...
        There should be a generic edit icon as a common ground
        and fallback for these use cases.)
    
     help-contextual
       The icon for the contextual help / "What's this" icon
       in the Help menu.
    
     insert-table
       The icon for the insert table action of an application.
    
     mail-receive
       The icon for the receive action of an
       electronic mail application.
    
     mail-reply-sender -> mail-reply
       (Rationale: In order to support more reply methods than
        the expected ones. KMail, at least, has "Reply" as
        "intelligent reply" - automatically do the right thing -
        and also "Reply to all", "Reply to author" and
        "Reply to mailing list". The latter is not in the spec,
        and doesn't need to be, but in order to enable
        mail-reply-list, we need a mail-reply fallback.)
    
     system-switch-user
       The icon used for the "Switch User" item in the
       desktop's panel application.
    
     system-search -> system-find
       The icon used for the "Find Files/Folders" item in the
       desktop's panel application.
       (Rationale: For consistency - edit-find also uses Find,
        and there's no good reason to use Search here.)
    
     tab-detach
       The icon used for the "Detach Tab" action.
    
     tab-duplicate
       The icon used for the "Duplicate Tab" action.
    
     tab-new
       The icon used for the "New Tab" action.
    
     tab-close
       The icon used for the "Close Tab" action.
    
     zoom-fit-height
       The icon used for the "Zoom to Height" item
       in the application's "View" menu.
       
     zoom-fit-width
       The icon used for the "Zoom to Width" item
       in the application's "View" menu.
       
     zoom-fit-best (instead of zoom-best-fit)
