Optimization questions and perhaps an idea

Consider this code. Please pay attention to how .style() derives from element. The rest is not important for the point I'm hoping to make here.

/// Centers `element` horizontally and vertically inside `canvas`.
/// Returns a `Node` struct containing the calculated position and dimensions
/// of the repositioned `element`.
pub fn center_element(element: &HtmlElement, canvas: &Canvas) -> Node {
    let dim = bounding_client_dim(element);
    let pos = centered_pos(&dim, &canvas.dim);

Three Questions

Let me ask three questions:

  1. Who gets to decide what is idiomatic?

  2. How does something become idiomatic?
