Nope - check out RocketTheme and their GPL template (I forget the
name). It was advertised as XHTML valid and no tables for layout, and
it should be a good example.

A good friend of mine has produced some stunning templates based on
1.5, and I'm thinking of asking him to release a basic (blank)
template for the rest of us to have a good starting point - as his
work included compliance with Dutch accessibility requirements and
also has some pretty astonishing results regarding pagerank and such
as a result...
