Personally, I think something similar to the moonbase concept should be
applied--an input bin with opening or edge at a given heighth and width
and placed in a specifica location on a standard footprint size, or
perhaps by allowing different categories of footprints.

In this way, anyone's module can fit to another persons and event
organizers can plan layouts for events and request the appropriate
amount of space.

I love standards, but I also like the 'variedness' of the GBC modules--trying to
get somethign specific hammered down, like 'only 32x32 baseplates with the bin
in the bottom left corner' might be a little difficult.

As it is, Steve's details is the front of the bin must be within 32 studs from
the back edge of the baseplate, to allow modules to run along a wall.

Maybe in the future Steve and Co. will get more specific, but this is a good
start

We shall see what transpires.
