Ask HN: Standard incorporation documents for startups?

I really like the idea of standardized, simple legal documents, structures, and agreements -- it controls legal fees and also facilitates mutual understanding and efficient markets.

I love that YC posted SAFE, and I'm probably going to try to use them: http://www.ycombinator.com/documents/

Are there any similar things for basic corporate structure? I'm thinking:

- Incorporation documents geared toward one of the "standard" states: Delaware, Nevada, Wyoming...

- Standard terms and provisions for things like equity, voting rights, stock categories, etc.

... and so on.

If there aren't, I'm wondering if YC or anyone else would be willing to create such a thing. I think it'd be of value to the community even if only as a reference.
