Actually, I think it is quite consistent. "Nobody" refers to an
individual, even though the set of possible individuals is infinite;
same goes for "no one". Where as "none of the ..." refers to the set
collectively.
I think Strunk & White says the same, although I can't quote – I don't
have my copy handy at the moment.
