Another tweak that we used in our project is to have a central message pool (using the Pool interface). That way, not each component declares his own buffer for the messages, but it's only done once at one place. But then you have to handle the possibility that there is no buffer available -> slighly increases the program memory and complexity.
Also, if an array is representing a constant, uses the constant key word in front of the declaration. For mica family (AVR) programs, you have to use a macro call (PROGMEM or something like that) in addition to constant..
