One of the big areas I think people are going to need guidelines on is 
how does the UI Design change with the new E4 technologies? Laying items 
out for use both as Desktop and Web has trade offs for each area. 
Guidelines and best practices in this area can help the community as a 
whole. This is something that the group might want to consider working 
with the Architecture Council on as well.
