IMO we could simply start by renaming everything with a single unified naming convention. Not name (user), title (node) or subject (comment), but rather a single word, used to define that part.

Agreed.
In some ways, we already have what you describe. Take format_name(), for example. You can pass it any object with a uid and a name, and it will display a username.
I'm OK with adding more such patterns where appropriate.
How about making such format functions themable? I find myself hacking them more often than not on custom installs (and every more serious instlal is a custom install). Cheers, Gerhard
