I was contemplating this a little today and still plan to work on this
heavily but not  until Mid June.

The idea I had today was to do a mix. At the top level there would
Themes and Sets. Sets would be whole groups of things submitted
together. Themes would be our current setup where things that are not
part of sets, 1 off icons could be filed under their appropriate domain.

In the end, it won't be much of a problem once I get to implementing my
keyword tagging scheme and search tool this summer as both set names,
themes, and specific name tags will all be in the svg tags and cataloged
in a search tool along with where in the folder structure the file resides.

Maybe we need to pick different names though since Theme seems to have
too many definitions.

Thanks,
