There is a documentation module that covers modules on the opencms website.

Also, here are a few other sites:
http://www.opencms-forum.de
http://opencms.al-arenal.de

The OpenCms forum has links to other resources, as well.

Many of the modules are well documented, especially in the source code. 
You may find it useful to read through the source.

I know there was work on struts, but I don't know how similar it is. 
I've used OpenCms to store XSLT templates and automatically run XSL 
transformations on XML documents, so I know it's possible to create 
alternate template mechanisms.

The WYSIWYG editor does not produce XHTML, though you may be able to 
configure JTidy to convert HTML 4 to XHTML.

However, there is nothing in particular that prevents OpenCms from 
serving XHTML or any other XML format.

Hope that helps.
