Re: Standards for warning icons

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Asking questions is fine, but you should be addressing them to the right 
people.  I don't think there's anyone on this list, myself included, who 
has the necessary regulatory and safety engineering credentials to 
prevent you from getting into trouble if you make unguided changes to 
safety-related information.

There's a fair amount of creative leeway in the selection of icons for 
use on a digital camera and its documentation, but when you're working 
with systems that can maim or kill if operated incorrectly, you've 
stepped onto an entirely different playing field.
