I would like whatever work you have done to be put up for public
consumption as soon as possible.  People have been discussing quite a
bit of GUI stuff in this list, and it seems that agreements have been
made.  I would like those ideas to go into the style guide as soon as
possible so that no discussion/work is duplicated.

I don't want people to have a "complete" style guide just dumped on
them right now; I'd rather have everyone discuss the issues that need
to be resolved.
