Yes, size is used as a way to highlight more common functions.

Another reason for large icons is that the ribbon was also designed to scale.
Large icons can become small ones with a small window, and a whole category of
icons can collapse into one large icon (large, because there's one column per
category and a small one wouldn't cover the height).

OK. Be sure to test them on dark as well as bright backgrounds.
Out of all the icons I've worked on, I'm pretty happy with these, so... please
be careful. :)

I didn't mean contributing back (the basic theme is just the right size now,
IMHO, and covers the fdo specification well) -- I really meant just having a
link inside a text file in their git repo, so people would have a place to look
for additional icons. Our icon scheme doesn't use the same naming as Gnome's,
it has a number of LibreOffice-specific icons, it'd be useless to create larger
versions of many of those icons, and maintaining both the Gnome repo and our
icons up-to-date and consistent would be unfeasible.

OK, pencil sounds good.
