Thanks for the full pointer.

After having read [part of] it, I don't think we need anything like
this. This is *only* my personal opinion, obviously.

Its scope is awfully limited. It focuses on "how similar this is to
windows". We don't need such stuff. I don't care at all about this
stuff, and assertions like
Relevant Usability Principle: Match between system and the real world.
where the "real world" is "windows computers" are definitely pointless.
See another thread here about innovation vs. replication.
