Comment:

 Okay, so, this seems so obvious and simple to me - so clearly I'm missing
 something.

 Why not [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.2.1/wp-
 includes/query.php#L773 just change this]:
 {{{
 function the_post() {
         global $wp_query;

         $wp_query->the_post();
 }
 }}}
 ...to this:

 {{{
 function the_post() {
         global $wp_query;

         do_action( 'the_post_before' );

         $wp_query->the_post();

         do_action( 'the_post_after' );
 }
 }}}

 It supports the existing Loop markup of every Theme in existence. It
 requires no changes to the Theme template for either the Theme or Plugins
 to hook into the `the_post_before` and `the_post_after` hooks.

 What am I missing?
