Summary of Issue: Should Icons be included in contrast requirements?
Comment (Including rationale for any proposed change):
I know that we decided not to include diagram due to the difficulty of determining the correct contrast for varying line thicknesses and such.  However, icons have a great role in determining usability of a site than general diagrams do.  

Proposed Change:
Include icons in contrast requirements.  Define \"icon\" and define what sufficient contrast would look like for an icon.
