For the revision status message boxes at the top of a page ... [These icons] would be presented in addition to that text, next to the text. Thus if X and Y are icons it would look something like this: Accuracy: X Draft level Depth: Y Stub

Maybe icons could mark "quality/stable" versions in some contexts, but as for each rating, I'd rather go with the text, or the text and the blue bars or such. Any use of icons alone would be more confusing as readers wouldn't know what they meant. Icons are really only good for yes/no fields.
Upon reflection, I agree we shouldn't use this value-icons idea. At best it would just be a frill, and is not needed now.
So the message boxes at page tops would go back to the way they had been on Phase3, with ratings expressed in text like this: Accuracy: Draft level Depth: Stub Readability: Good
I think the "quality/stable" marking in Version History pages is fairly important, and that should be done. The display could easily be done with either HTML (Colored background and a monospace character, for instance) or icons.
