David, the essence is trivial: The best recipe for maintainability is keeping things simpleāfor example, the fewer elements a site has, the fewer rules style sheets contain, the easier the siteās maintenance.
The overall picture, however, probably suggests to remember Einstein: āEverything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.ā š
