Clarification: Nav Menus</div>

<div><a href="http://themereview.chipbennett.net/"><a href="http://themereview.chipbennett.net/">http://themereview.chipbennett.net/</a></a></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><a href="http://themereview.chipbennett.net/"></a>The dynamic sidebar is
in the footer (actually, sidebar.php doesn't call dynamic_sidebar, but that's
a separate issue). The footer has an explicit call to wp_list_pages, but is
output as a list, not a menu bar.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Should I require wp_nav_menu here? I'm thinking *not*, but wanted a
second opinion.</div>

Clarification: Nav Menus</div>
<div><br></div>Can someone give me some clarification on how we're
currently interpreting the requirement that Themes support Nav Menus?
<div><br></div>
<div>If a given Theme doesn't have a "menu bar", is it not required to
define a Nav Menu? i.e. in such case, is the Theme acceptable with just
the native support for adding Nav Menus in the Theme's dynamic
sidebar?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Or, are we requiring Themes to support a menu bar, with a
pre-defined Nav Menu?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks in advance,</div>
