I'd like to add another: keyboard access. Besides people with disabilities, power users often rely on keyboard a lot. It also ties in a lot with your point about link styles, and is a great reminder why focus styles are really important.

One thing with this, screen readers sometimes add their own keyboard event handlers where only mouse ones exist (e.g. they capture pressing Enter as if it were an onclick). For that reason, I always end up recommending testing keyboards without and then with a screen reader running.
