Yes, I think so.

I agree.

I think both 96x96 and 128x128 icons (for apps/mimetypes) should be 
allowed/installed.
Toolbar icons should be limite din size to 48x48, as 64x64 icons for toolbar 
are somewhat big, IMHO.

My plan for BlueSphere SVG icons is to provide all necessary sizes (and 
compatibility with GNOME, when GNOME 2,2 released)
