Chris,
I am not a developer, so I'd be the worst person to ask to start DIV TAGGING inside modules. Just to explain my previous comments, what I am suggesting is more than just themers asking for a favor from module developers. I believe there is a need for the development group to agree to a standard for 'div tagging' inside modules already in existence and then enforcing it.
Again, not everybody is going to move to 4.7. The costs are going to be great to many groups, especially here in the US the political and culture activist groups that have embraced Drupal over Scoop.
I guess, I'd have to ask, what does it take for something like this to be happen in Drupal?
I am cross-posting to the themes list --we've been remiss in keeping this conversation on both lists.

Why yes, you can ask module developers to enhance their previous release (4.6, 4.5, etc.) modules. And if you and some others do the same, then it would be "we" and it might or might not happen, depending on the time available to the developer and his or her inclinations.
So, by all means, ask!
No promises, though. :-)

It's a shame div's can't be controled using PHP arrays. So each module would be able to "tag" it's div's with aggreed upon array values, and ID them to their linking. Then a themer could do $theme_divs['event']['title'], and have that set to the title of the event, no matter what that div was ID'ed. That would, of course, require CSS files to end in *.php (I know of no browser that would mind that, given it's MIME'd correctly) so these variables could be populated.
Just an idea I had bouncing around...don't laugh too hard.
