You are also right to state that the "International Symbol of Access" is the accepted standard for this. But beyond the aesthetics of the icon itself --which is rather subjective--- what I found interesting about the article's proposal (joeclark.org/symbolizing.html) is its authors' desire to find a symbol which would actually emphasize the possibilities of universal access rather than depict an arbitrary physical handicap. By suggesting to a use a smiley ---which is just that anyway, a suggestion--- I don't think that antialias was trying to obscure because of some prudish feeling of commiseration the existence of KDE users with disabilities.. I know I wasn't. Now, whether anybody actually wants to or even needs to change that icon is another question and by posting this link I wasn't trying to suggest anything either way.
