Just looked through the source of the theme that the end-user sees... From what I can tell, Danland has the following in the head section:

<head profile="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/vocab">

</head>

My questions:

1.) What does the "?mc2bfe" represent?
2.) Are all the embeddings (i.e. - STYLE and SCRIPT) really necessary? If not, what would be the first step in removing the ones that are not needed?

I love the Danland theme--just curious about some of how this has all changed between 6.x and 7.x.

Any insight into this is appreciated.
