Yes and it already does XHTML 1.0 Strict too.

Something similar.   I see mostly frameworks for different types of  
designs.

PHPTemplate is the way to go unless the theme method is changing  
again D6 like in D5.  And the PHP would be just drag and drop.     
There will be a panel for all of the Drupal PHP functions.  And when  
you hover over them in Dreamwweaver it will explain what the function  
does.

Correct.  Too bad the theme documentation for Drupal is so poor.  Or  
it would allow the developer of the extension to finish it faster but  
with all the options of Drupal for each person to create their own  
unique theme.
