This is a suggestion:

If HTML5 would contain resource pool in each browser.

i.e. all HTML5 supporting browsers would have a collection of icon set

for example: someone may use them like this: 

<img src='chrome:://html5/res/images/alarm.png' width='512' height='512' />

OR audio set

<audio controls="controls">
  <source src="chrome:://html5/res/audio/beep.mp4" type="audio/mpeg" />
  Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

Which will decrease the downloadable content and give the developers a set of
resources to use.

Rationale: While it may be worth trying to design such a feature for
HTML.next, I don't think we should attempt to do so in the HTML5
timeframe.
