This is a bad list.
First, it's basically a list of minor nit-picky random things rather than a thoughtful list of essentials. How is "Pages don't refresh automatically" on the list, but, "Buy an SSL certificate" is not?
Second, many of these things would be total waste of time pre-launch. If you have zero people buying your product and you spend your time perfecting "Currency, language, country specific deals, taxes" then your perspective is way out of whack.
It feels to me like this list was put together by a committee of people who read TechCrunch everyday, but have never actually launched any side projects.
