There are many reasonable rules to be found there contained in a single text file.
You mean like what file size or bitrate is acceptable or good enough? I disagree. Not only do these things depend on the source, but the viewer as well. I personally don't understand why anyone would aim for 700MiB with a 720p full-length movie because it looks horrible to me, or why 5mbps seems to be another popular choice because half of that is usually more than enough to my eyes. It really isn't difficult to do your own tests and come to a conclusion yourself.
