Excuse me as I am confident this idea has probably already been mentioned in the list, but I wanted to garnish discussion on the idea.
There are already military leaders and scientific icons, among religious profits to be introduced in Civ4, so why not including cultural icons too?
A cultural icon would help add a much needed bonus to being a peaceful, culturally intensive nation. The appearance of a cultural icon could be smiliar to that of a scientific icon; if a city reaches, say, 1000 cultural points and/or an above level (10,000?) it has a 1-2% chance of spawning a cultural leader. If Athens reached 1000 cultural points Plato or Aristotle might be spawned or if Berlin reached 10,000 cultural points Beethoven might be spawned. It is rather self explanitory from that perspective.
The bonus of a cultural icon would be almost exactly the same again as a scientific icon. A scientific icon could rush any building, just as a cultural icon can. The cultural icon would instead, obviously, of being able to help rush a technology the cultural icon could possibly rush any city to 1000 cultural points administering the idea that the person/icon flourished culture within a Civ.
It was a nice step forward in Conquests for scientific leaders to be recognized but in Civ4 one more step needs to be taken into recognizing cultural leaders.
For listing purposes we could list some of the cultural leaders each Civ could have. Basically this is where history buffs can show-off by naming key figures in culture for the Persians, Aztecs, Celts, or any generally obscure knowledge of a Civ.

You got to be kidding me...
