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.
