A better rule is that these browser functions should do what the user expects. I don't think this page violates that rule (and it might not even violate yours: the scrollbar's movement has not been altered on this page like on Apple's product pages).

It violates mine: on just about every other page when I press spacebar the page scrolls.

I gotta admit, I was confused for a few seconds when the page didn't scroll when I scrolled my mousewheel.

No, because what the user expects can be customizable, app developers can't just guess it.
