The only reason I would disagree in part is that for Matt's personal site, the Theme is for his personal use, whereas for Repository-hosted Themes, the Theme is for general, public use.<div><br></div><div>Unless and until a "convention" develops around Post Formats, I would argue that the Post permalink should be retained, regardless of Post Format type.</div>

For specific cases, I'd say this is acceptable. For example, if<br>
they're using post formats (such as the "Link" format) to hide the<br>
title, then there's no reason to have a way to get to the single post<br>
page. I've implemented similar cases using post formats.<br>
<br>
My preferred implementation is the one I used for matt's site. I made<br>
it add a &infin; symbol at the end of asides, for example, which links<br>
to the single post page. For Link formats, I intentionally left that<br>
out, since I thought links weren't worth it. Although the comment<br>
bubble shows up, I guess. Either way, it's an acceptable design<br>
choice, depending on the specific circumstances.<br>
<br>
You may say that they should have an explanation in a readme.txt, but<br>
I wouldn't reject a theme solely on that basis, as long as it's<br>
clearly not the default case.<br>

Code to do the infin trick (adjust as desired):<br>
<br>
add_filter('the_content',' mytheme_format_content',1);<br>
function mytheme_format_content($content) {<br>
global $post;<br>
if ( (is_home() || is_archive() ) && ( has_post_format( 'aside' ) ) )<br>
{ // add other formats as needed<br>
$content .= '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="'.get_permalink().'">&infin;</a>';<br>
}<br>
return $content;<br>
}<br>
