 I would def. test it as a plugin at my themes. As far as i read your
 thoughts on your blog, i agree in most parts. My thoughts about it here
 (you got no comments on your blog):

 * Ptha Dunbars idea of get_template_file sounds better to me, because it's
 more flexible and better explains the idea of "get a module-file" to a
 not-pro-wp-user.

 ''Just to describe another (not perfect) approach on this:
 ** My custom version of a folder-module_file-approach differs in 3 basic
 folders in the root: /js/, /lib/ and /ui/. That makes it more easy to
 separate between script, styles&images and content.
 ** Subfolders of /lib/ are /head/ (doctype and wp_enqueue_* script/style),
 /func/ (hooks, shortcodes, module-calling-file) and /mod/ (all different
 modules)
 ** Everything just hooks into page-templates
 As i sayed: not perfect and doesn't fit straight into template-
 hierarchy.''
