Profile module: match text links with icon links

Title:
Profile module: match text links with icon links

Area:
styles

Summary:
In the Profile sidebar module of official styles, you can choose to display the interaction links (subscribe, track, post, search, etc.) as icons or text. Some icon links and their alt text are more precise than text, which makes text links less useful in my opinion. I wish they matched.

Description:
For example, there's a 'join community' icon and a 'leave community' icon with corresponding alt text. If you switch to text you get 'Membership' in both cases. It would be nice if the text could change according to the viewer's status like it does for icons.

[If you're using an official style and want to see what I mean for yourself, you can switch to text at http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options. It's the option called 'Select whether user interaction links are printed as text or using the available icons '.]
