Re: Encoding of symbols and a "lock"/"unlock" pre-proposal

I think the 4 symbols are good ideas, but then we also need a symbol for
"I lost my key/forgot my password".

Actually this would need to be 2 symbols:
a) it is locked with no hope of being opened because I lost my key, and
b) it is not locked, I lost my key, and better not shut it or we will be
in state a.

Then of course we need the symbol for:
"Beware of the dog", which means it doesn't matter if it is locked,
because if you attempt to access the contents, Rover will get you, so
contact the owner first.

I feel a top 10 list coming on, so I better stop here.
I'll put it under lock and key for now.
