I don't agree that Nautilus is doing anything wrong here. And I wrote
both the icon spec and the nautilus code using it. Is nautilus supposed
to hardcode the size of the emblems as a fraction of the icon size? That
seems much worse for the artists, and breaks a long standing design
choice in nautilus (which is the only thing using these emblem icons).
And what size is it supposed to pick now anyway?

The icon theme spec never really enforced that icons had to be the
specific size, just that they were designed to work with icons of that
size.
