    <p>As you add new capabilities to the web platform,
 do so in a way that improves the overall platform,
-for example its security, privacy 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,
-and do not degrade existing capabilities without good reason.</p>

    <p>Parts of the web platform evolve independently.
 Issues that are present with a certain web technology now may be fixed in a subsequent iteration.
 Duplicating these issues makes fixing them more difficult.
