> In general, though, I don't think everyone has to understand the meaning
of a **every** icon. It just needs to be memorable (ie. not too complex),
and is differentiable from other icons; the things an icon stands for are
often too complex.

The Haiku project is largely based in the english language.
We are an open source group writing an open source operating system, named
HAIKU.
We are not trying to discover a universal set of english names and
pictures that are non-offisive to everyone in the world. If someone showed
up with valid research showing that set, then I see no issue utilizing it.
But spending our time on trying to discover that set (as opposed to
improving HAIKU) is complete [http://bikeshed.com/ bikeshed].
