Grammatical consistency of principles

[rhiaro]

Some principles are "should", some are "must" and some simply "are". Can we make them consistent? I propose aligning on "are" (as aspirational, rather than currently true) but don't have strong feelings. ie:

• There is one web
• The web does not cause harm to society
• The web supports healthy community and debate
• The web is for all people
• The web is secure and respects peoples' privacy
• The web enables freedom of expression
• The web makes it possible for people to verify the information they see
• The web enhances individuals' control and power
• The web is an environmentally sustainable platform
• The web is transparent
• The web is multi-browser, multi-OS and multi-device
• People can render web content as they want
