I think my proposal wasn't clear: you wouldn't have a DisplayPort and a telephone port on the device, distinguishable only by the icon.
I think the point of USB-C is that the same port can support both functions, and so you don't have to care into which port you actually plug-in the cable. My proposal was just for when you were buying a new device, to make sure it supported the same technology as your existing devices - only then you would compare the icons.
