IMO This type of design is best left to the unified vision of one person, or
failing that a small group.

Part of my reason for using Quickbook is so that I dont need to worry about it
;-)

I am finding the time spent on UI design minutiae interesting, in my capacity as
a researcher on a C++ standard GUI.  There are quite good parallels between one
approach to GUI design and using Quickbook . In Quickbook  I am provided with a
relatively small set of UI entities. Section, Table etc that still give me a lot
of expressive power. Its not really my buiness to reason about exactly how the
entities will be rendered so long as they fulfill minimal expectations.
Similarly a C++ GUI should consist in a small set of  UI entities with some
minimally defined behaviour beyond which I shouldnt reason about them.  I think
that  could be the basis of my C++ GUI standardisation proposal ;-)
