Comment(by hnla):

 Some quick observations from a frontend developers perspective working
 these elements. (Apologies for butting in.)

 Working in a file such as members-header.php one of the first things that
 strikes one and needs dealing with is the markup structure for the item-
 buttons structure; as the name suggests 'items' it really should be a list
 construct using a series of divs is semantically null. With the present
 setup I can easily re-work this which is good!

 In an ideal world I would prefer a template function that aggregated any
 items actioned to 'Item-buttons' and that further allowed me to pass
 parameters to control the markup structure returned (similar to many WP
 template functions)

 Practically speaking please don't make any changes that involve hardcoded
 markup structure in core files unless we can override it by passing
 through parameters from the template tag.
