However a few points are tinged with the color of "experience". As a developer, I am often forced to program to the lowest-common denominator, and that can result in a few things that more experienced users can do without (like pop up boxes). Perhaps, not the lowest common denominator, but a lower one than I'd like. And as often as I fight for this manifesto, I am sometimes over-ruled by superiors whose forte is NOT the internet. Such is the corporate life. This is a great list, and as an avid web user, I would agree with every point. However a few points are tinged with the color of “experience”.
