[IxDA Discuss] Power icon

[Loren Baxter]

This may be the simplest form of an "engineering driven interface"
ever encountered.  1 vs 0?  Closed vs open circuit?  Show that symbol
to someone in an undeveloped country and it loses its meaning.

It's certainly easy to think of a more intuitive symbol using
natural phenomena rather than artificial.  Use the sun: circle for
off, circle emitting rays for on.  But I do wonder: how could such an
entrenched standard as the power symbol ever change?
