Maybe a theme can get the individual icons that the theme use, and combine it all in a single png file.
This technique is called spriting, and the single combined image file is called a sprite. We've done this with e.g. the enhanced toolbar buttons, but it doesn't work in all cases.
Maybe the idea than resource=file must die in 2011 internet :-/
The resourceloader branch contains work in progress on aggressively combining and minifying JavaScript and CSS. The mapping of one resource = one file will be preserved, but the mapping of one resource = one REQUEST will die: it'll be possible, and encouraged, to obtain multiple resources in one request.
