I would like to remove the paintbrush from the icon to make it more consistent with Inkscape on the other platforms, if that's OK with the author. Then I'll use this new icon to create OS X like document icons for SVG, EPS, etc.
One minor point is that the paintbrush actually makes it compliant with the OS X HIG.

"...If appropriate, the icon should also contain a tool that communicates the type of task the application allows the user to accomplish."
OK that's the reason behind the paintbrush then. This is important (I guess your "minor" was ironic). It could be a bit smaller though. Are you the author of the icon? Do you think I could try to modify it a little? Anyway, I'll use this application icon to produce document icons following the HIG (with correct badges) and if the icon ever changes it will be easy to update the document icons.
