As has been mentioned several times on this forum, W3C compatibility does not mean compatibility with different browsers. As you know, not all the producers of web browsers strictly follow these standards in the development of their products (it is enough to have a look at the results of Acid2 test to find that out).
The main point of X-Cart software is a compatibility with different browsers. We will investigate the possibility to redesign the templates for compliance with W3C standards without losing compatibility with specific browsers. If, as a result of investigating this problem, a decision will be made to redesign the templates, the final release will have to be delayed for another two months.

Not everyone will agree (because of a possible delayin release) but I think thats great news. Its all about making the standard product live up to its true potential. I love using xcart and the community that we have its just frustrating when there are simple things lacking. Its not like the talent isnt there to fix things, they just seem to have been overlooked.
use this oportunity to make the templates and workflow as near perfect as you can and reap the benefits in the long term
The focus should be on making xcart as compatible / cleanly coded / intuitive / simple for shoppers to use as possible
