<!--    
    This is an XML-based representation of the Icon Naming Specification from 
    freedesktop.org.
    
    It is intended as a convenience to XML enthusiasts to encourage the adoption 
    of the spec.  
    
    As a further convenience, I’ve used the typical prefix of “c” for elements; 
    this makes this ALMOST-conformant to the syntax as described in the 
    W3C XProc spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/xproc/#cv.directory).  
    
    The non-conformant aspect is the @description attribute, which I decided to 
    keep for human-readability.  If the attribute is a problem, it should be 
    trivial for XML devs to use an XPath expression like //@description to 
    delete them, after which everything should be hunky-dorie.  :)

                    description="Icons for hardware that is contained within or connected to the computing device. Naming for extended devices in this group, is of the form &lt;primary function&gt;-&lt;manufacturer&gt;-&lt;model&gt;. This allows ease of fallback to the primary function device name, or ones more targeted for a specific series of models from a manufacturer. For example, a theme author may want to provide icons for different phones. The specific model icons could be named “phone-samsung-t809”, “phone-motorola-rokr”, and “phone-motorola-pebl”. However, the theme must provide a phone icon in the theme&apos;s style, so that devices not matching these models, will still have an appropriate icon. An exception to this rule is that the “media” icons do not need to include manufacturer names, as they are generic items, and may be available from many manufacturers. As a result, for media, the specific icons are to differentiate between different specific types of media. For exmaple, an artist may wish to provide icons for BluRay, DVD, HD-DVD, CD-ROM, and variations thereof. The specific media type icons should be named in the form, &lt;primary function&gt;-&lt;specific format&gt;. Some examples are “media-optical”, “media-optical-bd” and “media-optical-dvd”.">
