[theme-reviewers] Textdomain Guideline

All,

Just a quick note: I've added a clarification to the textdomain
guideline<http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review#Theme_Namespacing>,
as follows:

Themes are *required* to use theme-slug (or a reasonable facsimile) as
textdomain for translation


The intent of this guideline is to ensure that the Theme textdomain has as
little chance as possible to clash with another defined textdomain (i.e.
from a Plugin). The idea is to avoid acronyms, abbreviations, or arbitrary
terms as Theme textdomains, *not* to require an exact-match between
theme-slug and textdomain.

If you have any questions or issues, please ask/discuss them here.

Thanks!

Chip
