And I believe all of those not set from .emacs point to areas where
Emacs could be improved.

I don't believe that part of customize should be considered a seperate
part of Emacs.  The face specs originated with customize, but are now
fully integrated with Emacs.

It will probably be more useful to think of the customize form editor
as a seperate package on top of the core Emacs.
