I think modelines aren't well suited to humans, so they should probably be hidden somewhere within the driver. For configuration, it makes more sense to specify the resolution (either in rows, columns and character size, or directly in pixels), desired vertical update rate (frame rate), *optional* tweaks for the precise timing for syncing, vertical and horisontal blanking etc. And then let the driver calculate the appropriate figures for the hardware.
