Right now, please file a bug against the HIG component (or in this  
case, add your suggestion to the existing bug: 
<http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95110

Development on the HIG has been rather stagnant for a while, through  
lack of resources and not quite knowing what best to do with it next,  
but I'm itching to kickstart that process again so hopefully things  
will be moving again soon-ish.

Cheeri,
Calum.
