I still think this is a bit much to be a REQUIRED. I see Mark's point and I'm sure he's right when it comes to automation, but shouldn't the decision ultimately be left up to the theme developer?

Themes are REQUIRED to use a string, rather than a variable, constant, or concatenation, as the textdomain in translation functions.</li></ul></ul><div>Why should this be required? By using a variable someone can very easily change the text domain as needed wether it be for a child or derivative theme.
