[Typo3-dev] TYPO3 "extendability" - BE - templates

I wish to discuss with developers of core, whether it might be a good idea
to keep *ALL* of html in one file (such as template.php).

There is a template.php file, which is "responsible for backend look". Now,
while writing zor_rtl extension (for rtl rendering), I had to change the BE
look. Extending template.php was helpful, but not enough. There's a lot of
pieces of html here and there.

I think it is better to keep all html building objects in one file -
template.php. This will
1. make it very easy to completely change/update the look of backend;
2. make a standard way of rendering all BE extensions (same html design)
3. make easy way to write BE extensions (instead of "<a href=#>bla</a>"
write "template->makeAtag(bla,#)" )

Or maybe it does exist already, but I did not find these objects?
