        it's not really suited or necessary for it to be in there
    

    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.

     camera-video
       The fallback icon for video cameras
    
     media-tape
       The icon used for generic physical tape media.
    

    Postponed

    It's currently not clear if those will stay in the spec, you might hold off drawing those icons until it's clear what will happen with them.

     network-wired
       The icon used for wired network connections.
    
     network-wireless
       The icon used for wireless network connections.
    

    Icons in Tango, but not in the spec

    We don't need to have those, but if we do they should be named this way:

     media-zip
       The icon for Iomega Zip media.
    

    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.

     audio-headset
       The icon used for handsfree headset devices that combine a pair
       of headphones or earphones with a microphone.
    
     audio-input-line
       The icon used for audio line input devices.
    
     video-projector
       The icon used for a projector that video gets displayed to.
    
     video-television
       The icon used for a television device, such as
       CRT or flat panel displays.
