Well it isn't really, is it? NS3 probably isn't going to know to load an
image from an object tag.. 

Personally, I don't think XHTML2 should really even be touched. (Also,
we should keep in mind what was discussed previously, should any
specific standards be recommended, or should we just push standards
compliance as a whole?)  I would vote: 

The purpose of this kit should be to assist website developers in
convincing their prospective clients that standards based web design is
a valid investment, and can give them an edge over their competitors, in
turn bringing their site to new audiences. No matter HOW the developer
chooses to integrate them, be it through XHTML 1.0 Trans + CSS, or XML +
XSL, or XHTML 1.0 Strict + CSS + 508/WCAG-AAA.. it really doesn't
matter. This paper should demonstrate the benefits and problems with
standards based web development, and nothing more.

Thoughts? Is this too extreme?
