<DIV><BR></DIV>Then we need to address the criterion that Comments are
required functionality.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I think the best course would be to add an exception statement, to allow
for specialized Themes - although personally I don't think barebones support
for comments is all that much of an encumbrance. Regardless, I think
comments.php should still be listed as a required template file. (The above
exception would be implied here.)</DIV>

<DIV>Looks good! Some of those (especially the

several instances where I have to comment on the Theme Name.
Some objective guidelines in this area will be
helpful.</DIV>
