[theme-reviewers] Standard Theme Hooks

[Daniel Tara]

I don't understand why THA must alter a convention that was always in place in theme hooks.

i.e. It has always been mytheme_before_header, mytheme_after_header and so on. It's semantic and all major frameworks do it this way..

Is there a particular reason THA has them as tha_header_before, the_header_after and so on?

Also, is this is to be made standard will the tha_ prefix be used? I'd rather go with something more familiar like wp_.

Just my 2c.

Thus, I think it would be most beneficial to start with a consensus, whether from the THA or from the Trac ticket. Bearing in mind that the THA can always, and easily, support/implement core-defined hooks, I would think that the best place to start is the core "subset" of template hooks.

Many people (including myself) are interested in seeing something along these lines officially accepted by the WordPress community. I was wondering if it might be possible to work out a recommended set of theme hooks that could be added as part of the review guidelines.
