Sound selection is the main part of the mix process.
After the sounds have been chosen and appropriate levels have been set, the mix should sound pretty close to "done".
Sure, you can get creative with aux effects, reverb etc, but really there shouldn't be much difference between the resulting mixes - they'll generally be predicated on the sounds selected.
I'd say, maximize the potential for pure mixing:
As others have said:
no sound replacements
no tracks can be moved around - that is, the composition is set in stone
I'd also recommend:
using full-range sounds rather than sounds which have been reduced, either in level, dynamics or frequencies, so people can set their own levels/compression/ filters
using mono sounds so that people can apply their own stereo treatment
