    That would be really nice. That being said, I also share Niels'
    concerns as to how your wishes and very broad generalizations
    translate to the real world and, I would add, and how they relate
    to the current priorities of Haiku.
Statements which apply uniformly to many things aren't nessicarily "broad generalizations". The concepts of visual and informational heirarchy in design aren't generalizations, but they do apply to everything. As far as the current priorities of Haiku — I can only speak to them as far as I understand them, but I think Haiku's priorities lie in:
I was referring to the priorities of the very few people that seem to have the time and/or inclination to actually work for Haiku on this sort of stuff. My apologies if that was not obvious.
the cultivation of a strong developer and creative community to work towards an initial release AND the creation of momentum towards that end among developers and otherwise. The interested public are important components web communities like those of Fedora. People can bring something to the table besides code.
Most of us know the theory. But all the theory of the world means nothing if you cannot convert that into actual action, and that's where I think you will hit a wall (we are not Red Hat funded Fedora). I would love to be wrong on this; nothing would make me happier! :)
As far as whether or not every member of the community from every background needs to approve of a specific design — that's another conversation entirely.
It was more in a figurative sense; nobody expects you to have ever community member approve a design. Let me rephrase it for you: if you come up with a design that is really impressive and you can actually implement it, then it will (most probably) be adopted without major resistance. 

Cheers,

Koki
