3) What happens if the product has a UI that is too limited for your
requirements?  For example if someone wants to deliver content to
mobile telephones.

4) What happens if the product has an unexpected type of UI?  For
instance a command line client.  Or if someone wants to create a
specialized interface for blind people.

5) What happens if the UI has dramatically different rules?  For
instance there is a 3-dimensional interface where it is very hard to
interpret what it means to "display a logo" or to say what the size of
a 2-dimensional logo should be.

And so on and so forth.
