 would be to bundle a stack of semi-generic icons within the font, which
 authors could then pick from. These semi-generic icons could range from
 newsletter icons over paint-brushes to knobs and dials and cogs. A side-
 benefit to this would be the fact that all icons would use the same
 overall visual language and styling, not visually weighing down the
 overall appearance.

 represented by maybe 10 icons–a calendar, form fields, social media icons
 come to mind.

 Don't worry. I am not here to burn you at the stake. However, thinking
 this way is very narrow minded. You not only eliminate the opportunity for
 branding, but you also assume that no two plugin authors will choose the
 same icon.
