I'm planning on working on a GeoServer UI Development guide sometime 
real soon, but until we have something to point people at the guide is 
quite simple:

When you are building a form, group all the elements like so:
<ul>
   <li>
      <label for="fieldname"><wicket:message key="namekey">Default 
Name</wicket:message></label>
      <input wicket:id="fieldname" type="text"></input>
   </li>
</ul>

(in the case of radio buttons and checkboxes, the label comes after the 
input; for all other elements it should be before it.)

For everything else, there is not a well-established set of practices so 
just ask in the IRC channel; tenzochris is our current CSS guru (but he 
won't be available to us for too much longer.)
