Of course not *solid* black. I think the intention is to use black with 
a degree of transparency, which look gray, at least this is what the 
other icon sets (for example Tango) do.

Definitely the shadow must have transparency, be it transparent black or 
transparent dark gray as the icon can be shown against a colored or 
textured background and it will look smooth only with transparency.

The eternal question (see the "Artwork conversation" thread): who has 
the power to define those values? We have to wait for Diana?
