For substantive content sites, a must is a really good search engine. Sites with tons of information do no good if I can't find it and I can't tell you how often I get that frustrating "I know what I want is here, I just can't find it" experience.
Do you mean basic usability things, or more dense information structure kinda things?
One of my huge web peeves (aside from impenetrable Flash-based tiny-box navigation) is not being able to tell what you've already read or how much is left. So lots of fingerprinting/breadcrumbing that tells you where you were, where you are, and where you can go.
I found you through your response to the thread about the Dartmouth flap, which I found through something, which I found following the comments of cos on a post of lapsedmodernist's about, basically, oil profiteering.
Your response was really lucid and useful. Hoping to hear more of your useful, lucid voice, I've added you.
