I agree that more medieval-oriented marker whould be better
for medieval-oriented variants. AS any variant can override
the marker & names, Default markers should be medieval.

David, you're the one with the power to Make Decisions :-)

I see the point about consistency.  But John and Klint already did all 
the work, so they get to decide which ones go in.  It's a little late to 
try to exclude "modern" images.  (Besides, Mine is one of my favorites. 
  :-> )

The only marker I think might be a bad idea to use is Ring, even though 
I love the art, because its name is so close to Gold's Rings.  (The game 
wouldn't get confused, but people reading game transcripts might.)

John already picked his favorite six markers; I'm waiting for a similar 
email from Klint.  Then I'll redo the Si01 through Si12 numbering 
(presumably using alphabetical order by image names), update CVS, and 
make a build.
