I've been thinking lately that it might make a lot more sense to create a module or script that searches through themes and pulls out the structure into a simple hierarchical list. This way there are no stifling limitations on what theme designers can use.
The other direction I was going in was with a php script that would theme common elements by searching and replacing special tags within a CSS file. This method would basically require the theme developer or someone else to create a separate markup version of the css files that could be fed into this theme designer. The markup would then be replaced with clean, valid, CSS; plus there would be a common markup language that would could be interpreted by designers any way they wish. Unfortunately the site that I had a test script on went kerblooie and I also lost it on my personal computer. So at this point it's just an idea.
