Yeh, I'm just thinking about all those sites like www.imbuddy.net that 
have tons and tons of the 50x50 icons for people to use - even sometimes 
places release official buddy icons for their movies, TV series, or 
music albums (snakes on a plane and battlestar galactica official buddy 
icons are a couple examples)

If the technical max is 128x128 maybe 100x100 is a good size because 
there are also a ton of icons available at that size already (See

I guess my point is rather than trying to set a new standard, maybe go 
with one that's already out there and gives folks a LOT more choices.
