This is a good list of possibilities, but I think you're focusing on
mismatches as missing=problem, rather than mismatches as
different=opportunity.
There are certainly lots of cases where I want more or less or different
information than I'm given, but generally I expect that and even expect
that it's a good thing.
It feels to me like you're developing a list of differences intending to
abolish those differences as quickly as possible - though you don't say
that explicitly - rather than accepting a world where negotiation at
runtime is part of the system.
