well there are technical benefits to the groups, but more immediately  
beneficial are the search benefits.

tags as descriptions are all very well if there are the symbols for  
them, otherwise they are useless to our users.
similarly a style description is great, but an example is better, bear  
in mind that your designer's style is but one of many.

now my fruit category graphic is a holder, waiting for your icon  
designer, in combination possibly with others to decide which category  
icons will be most useful and easily understood. I've no doubt at all  
that their output if tested with users will immediately improve on  
#fruit.

"chalk" is the grand concept for an easy to use online authoring tool,  
there is roadmap of sorts, but it's a long way off, much related to  
developing a new svg microformat and standard.

the two modules under development are a search engine and irc  
communication module: http://www.openicon.org
