I think that's just untrue, though. While "mc clintock" and stippi's 
icons look similar indeed, their different perspective alone is reason 
enough to make them "non compatible" in that regard; IMO it's 
immediately visible when you'd exchange any of them (granted, the 
perspective from the people icon is not that obvious compared to the 
others, but you can still easily see it).

Even besides the perspective, the style is slightly different, too. The 
only icon where I can imagine having difficulties of assigning to one 
of the sets would be the CD icon, and I can live with that :-)
