To me that is the only one on that list that makes some sense. For the past year or a little more, the style mentioned in the first point, with a large background that spans the viewport height and designing for "the fold" in general have become popular.

Fairly recently theres been been popular backlash like Everyone Scrolls and There is no page fold and another one i can’t remember right now. These are recent enough to maybe forecast a trend based on them.

My personal favorite is:

"Responsive design calls for a ‘lean back’ content that will improve more substantive content.“
