yes I think so, this icons are qquida dependent on the theme they are very 
small and work well couse of great contrast but that depends on the theme.
so yes i would say they belong on the theme.

if they were oxygen icons i would have to make them in a much more complex way 
couse i dont have control over theyr becground. and so the contrast they 
might have.

This would be just a very small set of icons, 10 or so they are very easy to 
make and i think theme creators will apreciate that...

the only advantage here would be that if you zoomed the icon it would not be 
pixilated, but in this case its mostly the same thing. size wize maybe the 
png will be smaler but bowth are realy small in any case ...
