I'm sitting here on my girlfriend's computer, without any access to a
visual program like photoshop, but i had an idea for edge markings:

Think relatively thin, transparent plastic.

Think shaped like an "I"

SO (hoping we're all monospaced here):

What you have are tabs on the top and bottom of a transparent piece
of plastic. These tabs have holes in them that are aligned with the
edge screw holes of two modules. a thin (1/8"? 1/4"?) strip runs
down the middle, with...

a white line silkscreened on it, slightly wider than the gap you
might have between two modules given the slop around the mounting
holes.

comments? requests for clarification?
