Nice stuff, Max.
This aproach is for web design what Zone System is for photography. Some people "get it", and there's always DreamWeaver and templates for the rest.
Personally, I prefer Transitional over Strict because of some rendering issues, not surprisingly with IE, but that's OK. You're obviously at the level at which you can easily compensate or adjust for it, especially if you also do the follow-up and maintenance of the sites you design.
On the other note, the latest trend is to also pull the behavior layer out of the markup into the external library and attach it to regular classes or ids, so that there are no script tags other than the library link in the head. But since you read ALA you're probably already aware of it.
