james, let me reopen this one please. there is a big difference between "it is
our intention" (whoever "our" is) and a crystal clear guideline having as
primary target:
* minimize clicks and key presses
* response time <3 sec
this would make it so much easier for new developers as well. and so much
easier for testers to point out that something is against the goal.
as i tried to point out above with examples, people were and still are allowed
to increase key presses and mouse-clicks considerable compared to the existing
solution. i tried to look for design documents or mail references on some tech
list to find a justification for this, but could not find one.
you as a software developer surely know that nothing is more expensive than
fixing a design bug. and nothing is more expensive than finding a bug late.
just to take an arbitrary url to support this:
http://blog.bootstraptoday.com/2011/12/25/early-detection-of-bugs-can-save-up-to-22-billion-yearly/
so, please do not play the "a good thing but not the right place" card. which
then ends up nowhere. you can close the ticket if you either create this
guideline, or successfully have a (public verifyable) decision in whatever
place you consider right for a decision like this.
