WebSteppers -

Here's a shot at the html and htmld tiffs...

22 48.000000 48.000000 0  A 10 A 20 A B 48 /khare/Library/eText/AndersonTiff.etfd/html.tiff 9 html.tiff¬ html.tiff

22 48.000000 48.000000 0  A 10 A 20 A B 49 /khare/Library/eText/AndersonTiff.etfd/htmld.tiff 10 htmld.tiff¬ htmld.tiff

The basic idea - use the familiar rtf and rtfd concepts and add a miniaturized earth (net.tiff ) resulting in "world-documents" if you will. Not much new art here, just a little rearrangement of existing tiffs and some cleanup around the edges. Clearly a decidedly north american perspective is on the globe (versions of the icon could be done using eunet.tiff and asianet.tiff for those of you who'd like a different slant on things,) but when I tried doing a more international "map" approach, sort of like

22 48.000000 48.000000 0  A 10 A 20 A B 54 /khare/Library/eText/AndersonTiff.etfd/globe-peel.tiff 15 globe-peel.tiff¬

but scaled down, it really lost too much resolution and just looked like a blob. 22 12.000000 12.000000 0  A 10 A 20 A B 50 /khare/Library/eText/AndersonTiff.etfd/smiley.tiff 11 smiley.tiff¬

Along these lines, a really good icon for a web authoring tool would be the good old Edit app icon, with the globe in the corner that would "spin" when you were dragging a file into it, or when it was "thinking," or etc.

Anyway, critique away. The html icons are hereby free for the taking.
