Good god, how about "don't break anything!" Is that too much to ask for?
As in "don't break scrolling, don't break forward and back navigation, don't break link highlighting, don't break resizing (desktop and mobile), don't break clicking (I kid you not, some websites entice you to click and then can't be bothered to respond), don't break plain text."
I agree with everything in this article, but it should be common sense for a designer/developer/writer. Stop breaking the Internet. Serve up data, not apps, give me some viewing hints if you must, but let me or my browser settings control my viewing experience.
I suppose plain data doesn't make money, which is why all the apps/JS and interaction got added to the page to hijack our attention which could be then monetized.
