I did an entire system redesign around XHTML, CSS, and W3C Accessibility about a year 
and a half ago, for a ColdFusion system i run for my dayjob. It has many benefits and 
very few drawbacks so i would definitely reccommend it. Knowing you want to do it is 
the easy part, actually getting the core system and individual modules to play well 
together may be another matter. For evidence of this, see the fix we did to the "forum 
text gets cut off at right" bug. 

I'm going to create a CSS/XHTML theme and we'll see how well that goes over with 
everyone when I'm done. Frankly i was surprised how little CSS is used within Nukes - 
my guess being because the PHPNuke code started before it was compatible with most 
browsers. In the ColdFusion system i run, we have a function similar to themes that is 
accomplished simply thru separate css files. If we could create a base set of classes 
(or update the set we currently have) it would give module developers more basic 
designs to work with, and less to recreate by themselves (fonts, headers, etc etc). 

I guess my only question then, is how much the Nukes dev community wants to committ to 
CSS and/or XHTML beyond just a theme? forums? news? admin modules? Of course many of 
these will change their view functions with 2.0 moving to portlets, but i could help 
with some CSS and/or XHTML if that's the way we want to go with it.
