Although Twenty Ten is getting most of the parent-child attention of late, essentially what Phil is saying is the case ...<br><br>I generally use wording along the lines: there must be a significant difference in design and/or functionality for it to be considered a unique theme and not a child of the original parent.<br>
<br>Here is an unreleased example of design difference, although the theme itself was commissioned, but due to budgetary constraints was not completed I would consider it different enough (visually, at least) in design to be considered as its own theme.<br>

gonna suggest is be not approved until that header is fixed, it’s not really
just the menu, the header image is set far too small as well, I’m guessing
they didn’t use the standard test data and that they were probably using
a screen with a low res.</span></p>

Comment (by cais):<br>><br>> => all (unique) theme functions should
be appropriately prefixed with a<br>> consistent 'namespace' such as
'typo_' to avoid possible conflicts; see<br>> 'menu_args()' and
'add_my_stylesheet()' as examples (there are more to be<br>>
addressed).<br>> -> index.html is does not need to be included with
theme<br>> -> The 'add_editor_style()' function was called but the
default 'editor-<br>> style.css' related file was not found. This should be
addressed with the<br>> next update.<br>><br>> Overall:
not-approved<br>> * Items marked => must be addressed, they are
singificant and will most<br>> likely cause the theme to be not
accepted.<br>> * Items marked with -> are suggestions, but recommended
to be addressed.<br>> * Items marked with - are notes and
observations.<br>> * Other items noted should be addressed and corrected as
needed.<br>> * Additional review may be required once the above issues are
resolved.<br>><br>> --<br>> Ticket URL: <<a href="http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2131#comment:3" target="_blank">http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2131#comment:3</a>><br>>
