I don't think that XHTML compliance is "so" important, as soon as the site
provides XML-compliant feeds of its content.

Sorry, but in my opinion, IBM.com is a very bad example in terms of
navigation and user interface.
(I know, it is a huge site and the task is very complex...)

Have you ever tried to find content in it?

Few days ago, I was looking at their PLM section, and depending on where I
was clicking, the left navigation menu was not the same (depending on which
server I was)...

No, I haven't tried.
Very few people disable Javascript (perhaps some web developers... ;) ).
As for Flash, MM is trying to push their RIAs concept, so this is normal.

Nobody is perfect...

We will see what MM can do during the following months to improve all of
this, especially the speed.
