Web2.0 in Need of Guidelines?

I'm not sure why but many new Web2.0 companies all still lack a lot of basic necessities. The best way to explain this is by reading through the following list.

FEATURES:
- Account deletion options
- Import/export options
- Synchronization options
- Data duplication options
- Advanced data manipulation options (live reorganization and bulk editing options)
- Drag and drop options (if applicable)
- Tags (no folders)
- Widgets, RSS feeds
- Vector based graphics/logos (scalable images)
- AJAX (careful with the Flash usage)
- Standards based (DataPortability)
- Platform-independent
- Search (using tag combinations and/or meta-data)
- Support for complicated long passwords (or OpenID support)
- User profile (with the option to go private)
- Favorites (for keeping track of cool content)
