I have written a comprehensive presentation on XHTML 2 called "Moving Toward
XHTML 2", which is available in several forms at:

http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/xhtml2.ppt (Microsoft Powerpoint)
http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/xhtml2.sxi (OpenOffice.org 1.1)
http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/xhtml2.pdf (PDF)

It contains 117 slides and is fairly self-contained, though if anyone wants
me to give the three-hour talk based on it, let me know and I'll be happy
to do it for your organization.
