Bobby I love http://bobby.watchfire.com/bobby/html/en/index.jsp

I'd really like the ability to create a theme that will render my site xhtml
1.1 compatible and not use tables for anything more than relational data
(where possible).
(I've happily dropped all support for version 4 browsers in favor of real
accessibility.)

This would also require some things to change in the tags allowed in content
submissions such as <br /> instead of <br>. One way to smooth the transition
would be to get rid of html altogether in content submission and move to
something like BB code (along with the ability to define new BB tags). To
keep things flexible for theme designers the doctype definition (or some
other
flag set in the theme) should be checked to translate BB tags appropriately
([br] could = <br> or <br /> depending on the current theme's doctype).

Ultimately I'd like the ability to create a truly accessible site without
shoving this requirement down everyone else's throat.
