I believe that will resolve to the best possible scenarios for new and existing themes.<br><br>'wp_nav_menu' is nearly find and replace for simple menus (I've written a few basic posts regarding upgrading at WPFirstAid.com; two are still scheduled to be published.)<br>
'add_custom_background' is very easy to implement (NB: Testing may require a transparent image if the background is a solid pattern.)<br>'add_editor_style' should be relatively straight forward as essentially a subset of the style.css file.<br>
<br>'add_custom_image_header' as "strongly suggested" works well for themes with banner style headers and allows other themes a feasible path to being accepted.<br><br><br>Cais.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>I think the best course of action is to strongly suggest supporting<br>
all customization features, with one custom menu being required (main<br>
navigation).<br>
<br>
So something like this:<br>
<br>
Themes must support the the following customization feature:<br>
<br>
Navigation Menu - wp_nav_menu()<br>
* At least one custom menu should be supported, generally the<br>
top-level navigation.<br>
<br>
Themes are strongly suggested to support the following customization features:<br>
<br>
Custom Header - add_custom_image_header<br>
Custom Background - add_custom_background<br>
Visual Editor CSS - add_editor_style<br>
<br>
3.0 changes like comment_form() are required since it isn't an<br>
optional customization, it's a core part of how themes work.<br>
