i would like to remind about the importance of structure.
giving the thing a shape, so that there is a definite hierarchy of
understanding.

Universally accessible - Everyone can use it, 3 - 93 years, no-matter what

 (see http://live.gnome.org/UsabilityProject/HIG/ThreeZero )
 since the desktop is for everyone, and community-fit implementation is
always important above most other provisions, Accessibility / Intuitive UI
should stand at fairly high at the top of a TOC e.g.

Consider using RFC must/should/may wording for guidelines, to indicate

about using RFC style "must / should / may" in the Guidelines would give
them more weight and help show, that we are talking about more than just
advice here.. show that the HIG are not merely principles but actually
implementable instructions.
if Gnome wants to be serious about the HIG as a set of design instructions,
let's go.

IF RFC style "must / should / may" usage applies, it is definitely necessary
to declare that visibly on top of the respective article, since the user
needs to know what "language" he/she/it is reading.
