"The IndieHIG Wiki is a place where developers and UI designers can come together to create a new set of Human Interface Guidelines to supplement Apple's guidelines. Apple has neglected to update their HIG with modern UI designs and controls, so developers have been forced to replicate these UI elements on their own to keep their applications from looking dated. Since each developer has slightly different implementations of these elements, it has resulted in a fairly inconsistent look and feel for Mac OS users." Meanwhile, for the first time in over three months, Apple is asking its developer community to begin testing and providing feedback on a forthcoming update to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.

...that no one would notice with normal usage. Yes, when putting all those differences next to each other, the differences will show. But seriously, I've never noticed it in the past 3 months that I've been a mac owner. Still, a project like this is nice, especially if there's code available to implement these 'controls'.
