FWIW, there is real code in CVS:
  www.gnome.org/projects/gnumeric/new-deisgn-testing

It uses XHTML1.0 strict with a couple of stylesheets and SSI (for
  maintainability without implementing it client-side).

Which brings up an important point; to be consistent with GNOME's site,
  all new stuff should be valid XHTML, encoded with UTF-8 (though I
  don't think it *has* to be *strict* XHTML).  Be wary of .xml for files.
  While it's the Right Way to Do XHTML1.1, That Damn Browser doesn't like
  it and only spews the XML tree.
