Have you looked at the manuals for Memoir and Koma?
Although it's a very interesting query, I can't think of a specific
resource which addresses it.
I do have an old volume on my shelf, ``Templates Technical Documents
for Ventura Publisher'' but I picked it up because I found it to be a
singular treatise.
Probably the best you could do would be to work from good references on
typography and apply sound principles. Some titles which come to mind:
- Bringhurst _The Elements of Typographic Style
- Tufte _The Visual Display of Quantitative Informatiion_ et. al.
- Degani _On the Typography of Flight-Deck Documentation_ et. al.
(these are listed at:

- Wilson _The Design of Books_
- Tschichold _The Form of the Book_
I am working on a text which will address this sort of thing as well,
but I'm still working on the outline and first rough draft.....
