As you add new capabilities to the web platform, do so in a way that improves
the overall platform, for example its security or privacy vulnerabilities, or accessibility characteristics.
The existence of a defect in one part of the platform must not be used as a license
for adding or extending such defect into new capabilities and thereby further decreasing
the overall platform quality. Where possible, build new web capabilities that
improve the overall platform quality.

Where possible, build new web capabilities that improve the overall platform quality,
and do not degrade existing capabilities without good reason.
