Hi Franz,

very good suggestion. We do far to less in this field. 

If extension use the same naming schemes i.e. for HTML tag classes, we
would gain a common look and feel for many extensions. It wouldn't be
neccassary any more to adapt you CSS for every extension.

We did a good start a year ago with: 

http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Content_Rendering_Schemes

Although such standards would be a big gain for everybody, nobody really
cared about so far. It isn't that much work to define a few usefull
standards. :-)
