On the roadmap for Moodle 2.8 is the "Element Library" - Sam Hemelryk and I have been prototyping, investigating and specifying how we think this should be approached. We think that the scope of this issue, is much bigger than adding a few html pages with different sized headings - there are some improvements needed to the output API ("fix all the things") in Moodle that will deliver benefits to developers and themers.

Please read our specification here: http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Render_library_specification (Yes, the entire thing - and the links). We would love to get as much feedback from themers and developers as possible (I'll link to this post in those forums).

There is one very important point to think about while reading that specification:
* We do not want to break anything - everything we do will be fully backwards compatible (and not in an annoying - debugging messages kind of way).

Thanks for your time, please put your comments in a reply on this discussion, not on the wiki page - Sam and I will curate any feedback and update the doc.
