if you have your own instance that's no problem at all ;) because then 
you don't have to migrate other portals

dtml in plone? - you're joking right? ;) there are only ~6 dtml files - 
javascripts and css files, which are not xml so you can forget me/tal

webstandards... we could throw away these loads of sementic bullshit 
(sorry) if every browser supported them... css 3 will be a huge step, 
for a more sementic web, but it seems like we have to wait ~5 years 
until we can really use it... look at ie 6 - it's 2 years around now. 
we'll have to support it for at least 3 years from now on. *sigh* :(
