Similar to the rdpNumPart class on RadDataPagerButtonField, the addition of a default class to the template field would allow for easier targeting of this area while custom skinning the DataPager. On a large scale, it's much cleaner than adding your own wrapper divs within the template field.

I would like more control over the data pagers rendered page numbers.

It's very simple thing I need... 
http://<currenturlwithlistview>/page/<number>

...this isn't a route handled by MVC\ASP or anything where I can give it an SEO name or route name or whatever.  It's a sitefinity route which uses another mechanism the datapager doesn't understand.

AND THAT'S FINE! :)  ...just give me the ability to define the route "path" I guess like even something as simple as a String.Format..."RouteFormat" property or something

RouteFormat="/page/{0}"
