I'd appreciate pointers to reference works that might be suitable to
use as "bibles" for document layout (much as one might use the Chicago
Manual of Style for questions a level higher-up).  We're pondering some
setting up an "official" set of LaTeX document styles, and there are
two serious problems we have:  (a) no one _really_ knows what they're
doing, and (b) nonetheless, everyone has an opinion they feel strongly
about.  It'd be neat to have something we could fall back on to help
resolve things.  Are there some moral-equivalents of dictionaries and
manuals-of-style for layout and design questions?  Thanks.
