Totally agreed in concept.

Is this toppage layout, or standard template for each pages?
If this is standard template, I think we should talk about whether we
need left/right navigation. IMHO these navigations narrow body area
and reduce readability of contents.

Do you think we can enforce our style guidelines to writers? Defining
new schema may be overkill. My suggestion is using XHTML as base
schema and adding extentions for our local use.
# Of course, we can use XSLT to translate XHTML to XHTML.

Yes, we should use (or create) proper filename suffix to express its
schema.
