One guideline that page (script) authors should follow has to do with behavior which responds to mouse position without the user exercising any command discretes. These are the handlers for events including onmouseover and not including ondblclick. This class of behaviors should cause incremental changes to the finish of the display and not make any change in the actual or perceived structure and content of the document. The should all be expendable, in the sense that (for example) the audio usefulness of the site is not materially degraded by omitting them altogether. I think that the authors should be reminded that the user may be viewing the browser window through a screen magnifier and not have the full window in view in their assessment of what constitutes a small perturbation of the display.
