I do not see any current (or future) need for a Grammar Module: - The provided (xml:)lang attribute even offers a (IMO fully sufficient) language specification. - A Grammar Module would not prevent authors from publishing grammatically, semantically, or textually wrong content (and content will never get really or well validated... otherwise Babelfish and co. would have released a more than 50% working translation engine, I guess). - The site extent would get to complex (without any advantages, neither related to content, nor CSS, nor anything else). I rather tend to a (former mentioned) 'Minimal XHTML' than a bloated 'Maximal HTML' defining each word, better: each pixel on the screen.
