For several weeks (months?) now I'm working on the collection of OSM 
icons to become Public Domain (my main interest is JOSM, but I also try 
to provide a full range of formats as well). There are already lot's of 
icons (both SVG and PNG) in the subversion.

Well, before repeating myself again and again I've written down a wiki 
page, see: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Map_Icons

In fact, there are already lot's of SVG format PD icons in SVN, see: 
http://www.gpsdrive.de/development/map-icons/overview_lic.en.shtml. For 
example, you'll find an SVG icon (PD) of a lighthouse in the subversion 
at: 
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/share/map-icons/svg/misc/landmark/lighthouse.svg

So no excuse for not rendering POI's here, at least not because of a 
missing icon ;-)
