Yeah, I know they're too americas-centric, and a good design would be
to "pick your icon" from a set of separate views of the world. (Are
there any NeXTers in Antarctica? I wonder... And what'll happen to
Moon docs?) I really think preserving a recognizable, spherical Earth
is the right look - however, that's only half of the world at a
glance, and it is biased.

Anyway, ripping off the euro-centric or asia-centric view wouldn't be
a tough chore, but does anybody know how to set up alternative icons
for the same file extensions that can be set up with a single app? I
guess it's one for c.s.n.p. In any case, I've never seen it done, and
unless there's a huge coordination effort between the web-document
players, I don't know if it will be.
