Getting off-topic here, but I think that's partly the fault of the HIG
too... it's really not a very approachable document; too big, too many
guidelines, not enough examples.  I'd /really/ like to start working on
a "HIG Lite" soon that takes a different (perhaps complementary, perhaps
alternative) approach, but we all know how copious spare time tends to
be.

Cheeri,
Calum.
