I think the recent changes to the tool bar icons was so that next_node, 
prev_node and up_node would clearly indicate that we are moving in the node 
(i.e. document) and not in the history of previous moves (see previous 
discussion on emacs-devel).  I think the ones you suggest are more of the 
history kind of icons.  There are icons called next-page and previous-page 
though (attached, no up-page seems to exist).  But these seems to be poorly 
supported by the themes I have (no theme has customized those icons).

Ok, too bad these aren't browsable online somewhere.

Right.
