Every desktop environment has its own set HIG. Unity is sufficiently different than Gnome Shell or KDE4 that it merits some form of guidelines, even if they are as simple as "must work with the global menu, must offer a tailored launcher menu and must follow global font settings". Most of these will be inherited from Gnome Shell and the rest will be additions for Unity-specific functionality (i.e. they will be supplementary rather than divisive).

Above all, canonical applications (as in Canonical *and* canonical) must follow these guidelines to the letter. Ubuntu One and the Software Center currently stick out like sore thumbs from the rest of the desktop. Not good at all.
