I'm leery to give too many tips on form as I think it's very unique for each and every archer due to physical makeup and personal strengths/weaknesses. Not to mention It's something *I* always have to work on as well.

That said- I just want to add that the most humbling Archery experience of my life was when they had a shooting seminar with Dave Cousins and Jim Despart at my local shop. They are both absolute machines. In fact Jimmy was shooting tighter groups than his Hooter Shooter was doing- I'm not kidding! They shot a spot round and Jimmy won that day, but Dave's game is field archery.
I agree with you that we are all individuals and will alter our form toa comfort level, but just like golf or other things there are still basics that should be learned and then change from there a bit. Learn the basics first to get a solid foundation and then start experimenting from this. Just like building any structure you have to satrt from the base and work your way up.
