I already leave a bit of air around my controls. Something I learned from a 
design guy years ago.

It would be more convenient to have a property to set the width to the 
formattedWidth, but it raises another question: what do you do with the space 
saved?

That is, if the layout it too tight to allow some extra space in a label field 
to accommodate the different HIG specs for each platform, when a field is 
automatically readjusted as proposed then wouldn't you also need to adjust 
surrounding controls to take advantage of the change?
