An image of a floppy disk is generally used for saving something to disk, so I think it would be better to use it for the "modified" marker, perhaps even with mouse click on it invoking save-buffer. As for using these images for EOL format, I guess their mnemonic significance is something to your personal experience, because I would not have guessed why a floppy means DOS/Windows, what with GNU/Linux nowadays being ubiquitous on small devices and PCs. I don't see any emoticons that strike me as appropriate, but perhaps we could design small icons of our own instead.
