I really do not like the idea of having all those files araound. I foresee a 
(CVS (and no please do not shout BZRSVNETC)) maintainance hell. A hel that 
will wipe all beneifits of this approach from the map.

1) they need to be called on every page anyway, so no memory benfit (like 
locale.module).
2) they are highly inter-related. If you change something in file A you need 
to do so in B C and D. with CVS, or without CVS a hel to maintain, let alone 
to understand, when learning an existing module.
3) All HTML that lives in modules is wrong there anyway. We need more HTML 
generation API's, true. But already we can assume that ANY HTML tag in ANY 
module is in fact a minor bug.

I would rather call for a frenzy to actually remove ALL the HTML from any 
(contrib) module. IMO, the only part that is allowed to contain HTML is the 
theme layer, and the theme.inc.
