I would go with "Do nothing and see how much people complain.". I prefer the idea of having the UA doing the right thing than having platform specific icons that might end up with developers showing a platform-X icon on platform-Y because they don't bother having an icon for platform-Y. FWIW, I think that validating the manifest isn't solving this problem because developers can easily target multiple platforms (X, Y, Z) and use one of those icons (say X) for any other platform so if you use platform A, B or C you will have to enjoy icon X even if it doesn't match your platform conventions. Making sure there is no specific icons will force developers to have platform neutral icons (and then UA will do the right thing) or target only one platform - which is unlikely to happen. Also, we can go from this solution to a solution with platform specific icons if we want but we can't go the other way around so I would prefer to take baby steps as long as we don't have a urgent need to go faster. Given the answers to Marcos' questions, I understand that there is not yet any strong pressure by developers to have this feature.
