What would I/we do ... is there some organised taskforce behind this  
or is it just to come up with ideas?
I don't know if I feel up to develop some sort of standard and sort  
up the entire XHTML language nice and tidy, but I could sure give  
feedback and requests and ideas.

Is there some current special problems or anything to look at? To be  
honest I don't know how deep I want to go, but it could be fun to be  
a small part at least, so things can go my way ;)

Yep, good to know.
