I think it is a misconception that toolbar icons represent state. I don't know 
of any toolbar in our software where this is the case, so why should users 
suddenly expect that what's on the icon represents exactly what is happening, 
e.g. A-Z ascending? It is merely an example of what type of actions they can 
expect when clicking on the button.

Icons are a symbolic representation of general concept, not a literal display 
of a specific state.

Anyway, if you want block everything on that, that's what we'll do.
