You're probably looking for "best practices", which may be good to have
at times but which shouldn't be taken too far.
There are basic web standards, and they can be seen as "absolute rules"
in a sense. Some parts of those standards sometimes even work as
intended by those who created them - in some browsers.
However, trying to apply absolute rules to "how to use basic standards",
is the same as limiting design-possibilities for the sake of simplicity.
I see no point in such limitations, so I keep all parts of those
standards at hand, and mix them as I find necessary for solving each case.
The only limitation I accept is that "it has to work". To me this means
"work as intended in all standard compliant User Agents", which is not
the same as "work identical in all User Agents".
So, it always comes down to design-choices, and the more you know about
those standards - and User Agents, the better design-choices you can make.
