<DIV>First, and I won't bother quoting more out of your email, there's no
reason to attack Otto. That's silly. I met him last weekend at WordCamp
Savannah and can personally confirm he is a man of integrity who cares deeply
about WordPress and WordPress.org. I also spoke with him about the theme
review process at one point. And, he is one of the few individuals with full
access to WordPress.org. And I am sure he would be willing (as am I) to assist
in improving your theme review tools as they stand.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>There's no way that theme should pass and Otto would agree. The
double wp_footer() is a huge red flag. Aside from that, there might be issues
relating to the footer, CSS, and spam link. But automatic-feed-links isn't a
problem, neither is get_search_form() (especially if searchform.php's markup
differs).</DIV>
