The downside is that it makes the code more brittle. As soon as you
change the ID of a subsite, add a new one above it or change the
element ID, you'll get a bunch of errors about missing templates.

Do you think it's a good idea to add this feature to the public API?

Sounds good, yes. I think I'm not mistaken if I say that most applications won't have that many subsites, and even fewer will radically change their structure over time. These methods will make things easier for 80% of the applications out
there, and a fair warning should save the other 20% from hell.

There's one thing that breaks we this also though, you can't just jar up your templates and elements anymore and include them at any location into another site. Any getHtmlTemplate() call in there will then fail. Currently, you can pretty much take any site-structure and reuse it that way.
