Mickey,

The filter for the '(more...)' link created by the use of the <!--more-->
tag is 'the_content_more_link'.  Internally, the part of a post before the
<!--more--> tag is called the teaser (and this leads to a flag in the code
called $stripteaser which always amuses me), it has nothing to do with
excerpts.

The filters for the excerpt are a different set: 'excerpt_more' - used on
auto generated excerpts, and 'get_the_excerpt' used on manually created
excerpts.

As to overriding all the built-in classes and id's, I've got to ask why? To
what purpose? I would have thought the fact that all the container blocks
on a WordPress generated page are supplied by the theme, and thus can be
set up however you like. Anything inside those block is then effectively
namespaced.

For example: in Twenty Eleven you have paragraphs than can be selected as

.entry-content p where they occur in the entry blocks, and
.widget p where they occur in widget areas, and
.comment-entry p where they occur in comments,

and so on.

Is that not enough pseudo name spacing for you?
