The "silly" icons have a reason for being there, but given what you said, 
telling the reason is pointless. Anyway, 22px is a so huge problem?

And do you hope that the "few quirks that are irritating" will automagically

I'll tell you what's "irritating": users that don't speak even if forced, but 
they do really complain (even a lot) about the state of things. This will NOT 
help us (and you probably know that).
