I understand your point. and maybe you are right because you do have the
experience in this type of business.
I still don't agree and that is why I will start to do some work of my own.
the best thing that can happen is that it will lead to some synergetic
effects and the overall end result gets better.

I think one CAN produce a style guide in parts and successive refinement.
let's just try and see if I'm right.

I didn't want to use the word "closed", but that's what it is. nobody is
