Seconding John Colby, yes to all the above.

Shirley Kaiser has a good article on the subject of HTML, XHTML 
semantics and structure:
http://www.brainstormsandraves.com/articles/semantics/structure/

I think a collective effort would be useful, though lengthy. Perhaps a 
good way to begin is for a small leading subgroup of 3 or 4 people to 
take a lead on it and present something back to this list for 
input/discussion?
