Hi!

Did you notice / use the mappaint plugin for JOSM? It uses a complete 
(well, it was complete about two months ago) set of icons to display OSM 
map features.

It's actually doing exactly this for icons, plus the rendering for most 
"linear" features as well. You can find it's configuration file at: 
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/editors/josm/plugins/mappaint/styles/standard/elemstyles.xml

In fact I was working together with Joerg Ostertag and Guenther Meier 
(from gpsdrive.de) to find a common subset of icons.

BTW: Mappaint is using the classic.small theme, to use the 16*16 Pixel 
icons.

P.S: IMHO, having the file used by mappaint that is actually used has a 
much better chance to be kept in line with "map features" reality than a 
"dead list" in the wiki!
