<br><div><font face="courier new, monospace">/**</font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace"> * Theme Name: example</font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace"> * Minimum PHP version: 5.3.0</font></div>

The "Activate" link could be replaced with an alert that tells the user that the theme needs a higher PHP version. If unspecified, it'd default to the WP <a href="http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/" target="_blank">requirement</a>. </font></div>
<div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">I'd like to see WP be proactive about encouraging users to use 5.3+. The sooner we get the <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8372114/php-version-adoption-stats" target="_blank">majority</a> on 5.3, the better it will be for the core too. The same technique could be used for plugins, and it is future-proof to 5.4 etc.</font></div>
