Thanks for the list. But, of course we still need to use common sense and our own judgement; there are at least a couple in there that are less than absolute rules.

One item in the list that I find particularly debatable is the use of hanging punctuation. In short, if you try to do that to Chinese, Japanese, or Korean (CJK) text, you will end up with some very undesirable results. So if you are using InDesign and working with a text containing both CJK and non-CJK text, you will be forced to disable hanging punctuation unless you are prepared to put in a lot of extra work to do everything by hand.
