    Well, small-size icons are not going to be the source of the application package size issue, are they? I mean if pixel-perfecting 16x16, 32x32 and 64x64 icons is something we do already, using svg against the other end of the scaling problem (1024x768 -> 2048x1536) is a good solution.

Here's an example of one format and editor which does that: http://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/applications/icon-o-matic.html http://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/applications/icon-...
