Icon naming specification (draft)

Suggestions for an icon naming specification, very much inspired by the one on standards.freedesktop.org. Their specification is very desktop-oriented, but we can use their specification as inspiration.

I've created an issue for further discussion of this specification, please comment there if you have any feedback to this!

Thanks for yoroy for his assistance through IRC.

Here is the draft in all its HTML glory ;)

Guidelines

Reuse of icons: There should be as much reuse of icons as possible. E.g. the block icon for menu could be the same icon as for admin-build-menu.
