<div style="font:10pt arial"><b>Subject:</b> [theme-reviewers] 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>
