I liked the text, but I got confused before reaching the end. It 
started with general principles, but then seemed to jump back and 
forth between principles and particular cases. I think it needs a 
little reordering to make it easier for idiots like me to follow. I 
suggest:

1. Introduction
    1.1. General overview
    1.2. What's technically possible

2. General ideas
    2.1. Core Problem
        2.1.1. Guidelines
    2.2. Readability
    2.3. Spacing
    2.4. Perspectives
    2.5. Special colors
    2.6. Icons composition and badge support
        2.6.1. Icons family
    2.7. Universal recognition
    2.8. User interaction

3. Specific types
    3.1. Generic icons
      3.1.1. Application icons
      3.1.2. Document icons
      3.1.3. Plugin icons
      3.1.4. Media/device icons
    3.2. Default icons
    3.3. Toolbar icons

Are you aware that it is a copyleft licence, so icons licensed under 
that cannot be incorporated into works under the GNU licences?
