Please, we do not have a Ribbon UI and we never will, we have MUFFIN and one of
its features is the 'Notebook Bar' in one of its UI implementations. And we
expect/hope to additional MUFFIN function -- notably tabbed documents (bug
33173) and a multi-document interface (MDI) (bug 37134), with our existing "New
Window" multi-window document view getting some love, and a mode for better
side-by-side.

That is part of my concern, features get taken to a certain point and
development stalls, or the feature just rots away--e.g. review the history for
the 'Navigation Toolbar' (bug 115817 - GSoC 2009). Or the 'Visual Editor' mode
of the sm Math module (bug 88744 - GSoC 2010). How would you write internal UI
to guide a user to configure those features?

Not really, a pop-up dialog or entries on the Warning bar can never be an
adequate substitute for documenting the rich set of UI features in an active
(on-line or local) contextual help system. Supplemented by TDF's well authored
Guide books and topic specific guides, e.g. Bruce Byfields 'Designing with
LibreOffice'.
Restoring the <ahelp> tag function to the "New Help" (bug 118148) would allow
targeted/contextual tip based help. We do not "need" a bloated dialog/wizard
for guided configuration of the UI.

No sorry, it just does not fit/belong in the UI.
