This is a major problem with many icons. There are very few SVG icons
that render well at 16x16. Even when drawing the pixel graphics making
the small icons is sometimes problematic. With the number of icons in
KDE it will be quite a task to "Keep" all the "Icons Simple (Stupid)"
:-)

I guess that what I am trying to say is this: although we should "KISS"
there will almost always be problems because of the sheer number of
icons. If this problem is too great, we can either render the small
icons per hand and/or redraw them per hand. In my opinion it would then
almost be better to inlcude two different graphics in the SVGs (in two
different groups with IDs), one for the bigger pics and one for the
smaller.
