A reverse lookup would be wonderful (and sounds like a summer intern project or something like that):

simply a FAQ type listing of all the relevant element. A sort of reverse loookup that's solution-focussed, so that I can look up 'how to do three columns' or 'what widgets are available' or, my personal nemesis: 'how do I integrate an element which display custom friend colours on my reading list'.

My favorite computer book of all time is organised like that: it simply lists all the things you might possibly want to do, and then gives you the code.

And now, scrolling down, I see that a vehicle for that already exists- the cookbook might not have the answers, but that's the sort of thing I had in mind. If it contains enough examples, users should be able to create styles from it.
