I like the basic idea and started something similar years ago:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Icons

But as all others allready said, the situation is a bit complex. For 
every kind of map usage, another design would make sense (with/without 
buttons, 16x or 32x or SVG, level of detail, ...) and so it's hard to 
get all this within a single step.

In my eyes the only thing you can do, is to encourage people to start a 
new icon set/add missing icons, by giving them a working map that makes 
use of this icons.

bye,
Matthias (user:!i!)
