The skinning issue did come to mind and as you say it might break things.

A new class/id makes little difference to my fixes of course - just need 
something to get a handle om.

any suggestions on name?

#portal-personaltools-wrapper
#portal-personaltools-bar


also should the hiddenstructure go inside the wrapper div (would make 
the template cleaner as i could remove the tal:omittag)?
e.g.

<div id="portal-personaltools-wrapper">
   <h5 class="hiddenStructure">Personal tools</h5>
   <ul id="portal-personaltools">
    .....
   </ul/
</div>

I to think 3.0 is more suitable for that, and whilst you don't want to 
break existing sites too much a major version would make things easier 
to swallow if it did need changes to peoples custom skins.
