8. Thou shalt not use WAV, midi or other sound files because many people browse with sound switched off.
Using sound files often means people need to use a plug-in. If this applies to your web page, remember to provide a link to somewhere that the plug-in can be downloaded. If you use a small image as the link to the plug-in website, remember to use an 'alt' tag in the image because many people browse with images switched off.
9. Thou shalt not use Flash.
Admit it, you're just showing off aren't you
10. Thou shalt throw up thy hands in despair and rent thy style sheet asunder.
There are too many rules. It's just not worth it. How many allowances do you have to make for the way people use the Internet anyway? Why not just print out copies of your web page and post them out on request instead? For all I know, many people probably browse without a computer or with the electricity switched off or something and we don't want them to miss out as well do we?
By the way, if you do decide to distribute printed copies of your web pages, don't forget to produce a Braille version and a foreign language edition as well.
