Will assume your "shall only contain" to actually mean "should only expose";
but again as any of the default project UI already allow users to suppress
icons they prefer not to see--I don't see a lot of need for, nor advantage to
pursuing this.

That documents nothing. And,in that user profile, you have simply appended the
Formatting Toolbar to the Standard Toolbar in its default position and
shrinking them to fit available screen width. The extra (non-hidden) button
actions are collapsed as a reveal panel.

The current Single toolbar provides this function in a much more functional
way, you can suppress/hide any unwanted button actions--and have the benefit of
other Toolbars exposing contextually in the remaining horizontal space, if you
anchor them to the toolbar.

Otherwise, bug 125040 is open regards a MUFFIN hybrid Notebook Bar to merge the
NB and legacy Single toolbar for a more concise UI.

Absent any substantive description and justification as currently presented,
IMHO => WONTFIX

You are of course welcome to contribute functional patches, or extension--I'd
suggest implementing XML against the Notebook Bar.
