I had something similar in mind ...
The HTML5 context menu feature in Firefox is implemented using a menu builder
interface that creates custom context menu items. Another builder can be
implemented to construct native anonymous elements for toolbar menus.
I have even a patch for that although it's not finished yet because we were not
sure about styling etc.
Using pseudo-elements sounds good to me. Actually it would work like the XUL
tree widget which uses pseudo elements to style rows, cells, text, separators,
etc.
