[themes] Re: Please. Hold on for a second. (was Re: [development] proposal for theming nodes)

[Robin Monks]

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.
