Thus unless you plan to create your own modules (in which case I would suggest reading the draft XML accessibility guidelines) it should be entirely possible to apply the existing HTML techniques to XHTML content. Of course, if you use any of the basic modules (i.e., basic tables) rather than the full version), you won't be able to apply techniques that rely on features which are not included in your chosen XHTML modules. Usually however, alternative techniques are provided for each checkpoint in the guidelines. I also agree with Matt that reviewing the WCAG 2.0 HTML techniques draft, of which he is the primary author, would be useful.
