People who think sites like Wordpress blogs aren't Web 2.0 because it has rounded corners and faded headers just don't get it. It's Web 2.0 because it connects your blog to Amazon Wishlist, Cafe Press, Flickr (14 plugins), Last.fm, Netflix, Yahoo, Akismet, etc. http://wp-plugins.net/ lists 182 plugins that connect to external tools.
Web 2.0 is not about the user interface. It's about the server to server interface.
It's not just social networking as in Orkut. But if your profile on a phpBB website listed your friends as you have them listed in Orkut, that's Web 2.0.
The person who decides if something is SFW should be the web reader, not the author, because what's safe for me may not be safe for you.
The web author should determine the nature of the content. For example class="grotesque", class="sexually", or rel="hateful". Of course a tag can have multiple classes. If something like this is promoted i hope it's in concert with movie, tv, music, and game rating systems.
One problem with using class is that that you are turning a generic words with user defined meaning into a reserved words whose scope is understood by all web browsers.
XHTML should really have something better for rating content. The PICS[1] project looks promising.
