I like these suggestions.

I think snapping to each other is quite important. Especially the 1st
line margin to the left margin - in fact they are usually linked to each
other in many packages.

Do we get any snapping for free when dragging on the ruler. I would have
though you'd get grid and perhaps guideline snapping for free. I think
people would expect that would they not?

My suggestion was to add it to the guidelines numeric dialog (one of the
most hidden features in Camelot. Right click on ruler and select Guide
layer properties). This already has UI for numerically setting
guidelines. Might riding on the back of this save some work?
