I actually disagree regarding the "Menu" Widget - maybe. :)<div><br></div><div>If the Theme simply provides a Widgetized sidebar, and no "Navigation Menu" markup, then this approach is fine. However, if the Theme has what would reasonably considered to be the design intent of a Navigation Menu, then that implementation must support the core Nav Menu feature.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Basically: Themes are not *required* to provide Navigation Menus, but if they *do* provide a Navigation Menu, then it must support the core functionality.</div><div><br></div><div><font color="#888888">Chip</font><div>

I have a few questions about my first theme review.<div><br></div><div>1. The theme uses the text domain of Twenty Ten in a few spots. If I remember correctly from lurking on the list this is a reason for failure of the theme..</div>
<div>2. They use a widget for the menu and instruct the user to add the Pages widget. It seems to me that it's a much better option to use a WordPress menu which defaults to list pages. I don't believe this is an issue for a fail but probably a good suggestion as an update to the user.</div>

4. There are a number of other 'recommended' items in Theme Check but these are not a reason to fail a theme correct?</div><div><br></div><div>I could probably go further in to the theme but I wanted to double check on the text domain item before I did.</div>
