my take (and i think Charles was thinking on the same lines) is to 
enable conversion to symbols,  icons,  and  schematics at the user end.
This can now be done using RDF with xhtml or using roles  in XHTML 2.0.  
Other techniques include using standard CSS classes to the same affect.
(of course providing symbols yourself will also do..;)
