I think it is very unfortunate that we do not have a universal naming scheme of the piece images in the various sets. Also, having different 'sets' of Alfaerie seems a bad idea. Alfaerie is one theme, and ideally someone wanting to use that theme should have all images available without worrying which set it is in.
Alfaerie is by far the most elaborate set we have. It could act as a reference implementation for image naming, and all less elaborate sets could use the same name space. And just leave names for symbols they do not have undefined, or use them as alias for a natural replacement.
Also note that the SVG renderer can make arbitrary cut-and-paste compounds of pairs of pieces (such as Rook + Bishop for a Chancellor, but also Knigh + Camel if someone desires one), or produce rotated versions of any piece.
