Quite a few emails and comments suggesting that the less info on the symbols, the better - paring it back to the visual cue is just enough to warrant firing up your laptop and netstumbling.
For example, this from Drew:
"I'd like to see no alphanumeric's at all in the symbol, so anyone
walking by would just see it as a drawing that means nothing, and maybe
even see it as art. This would work for all info except displaying the
SSID, which if done, would be a very complicated symbol ... but it
probably isn't needed anyways, as most ap's will work with a blank or
ANY SSID, and most client managers will sniff the SSID anyways.Very cool idea btw ;)

I think that if we try and create a Symbology that's flexible so people can leave as much information as they want about a node, others add to it if they want, or just leave the bare minimum to give the visual cue, then we can leave it up to people how much they want to use of the options available as it makes sense to them.
