This begs the question: are there universal principles of  
(interaction) design that apply regardless of the context or user  
base? Are there standards that apply equally to CEOs in London and  
impoverished children in sub-Saharan Africa?

My guess is: yes, there are some. Fitts' Law, Hick's Law, Tesler's  
Law, the Poka-Yoke Principle, and probably a few others are fixed.

What these are would be an interesting list.
