good work! thank you for your contribution. The new site is a feast for 
the eyes.

I think xhtml transitional is enough, strict means more work and gives 
no additional benefit for anybody. Some important attributes like 
target="_blank" are not possible at all, so a sponsor link will replace 
the site in the browser.
Though validation is important, now it is html 4.0 with xhtml source...
Also some standards like filled alt / title attributes and putting css 
and javascript in separate files would bring more benefit for all.

Standard compliance and CSS orientation is important, but strong 
accessibility could be hardly achieved. So, some important accessibility 
eatures useful for all would be very nice, but not 100% of the 
requirements. That would be not realistic because of lots of 
contributors and sources (e.g. extension repository) and would only 
frustrate the contributors and maintainers.

The width is too small (800x600 is used by < 5% of users). It should be 
scaled ideally, may be made wider or at least centered. Now it fits in 
the left half of a usual monitor. That's why some extension records poke 
out.

Please let me now if I can help with something.
