      <li> Themes are <b>required</b> to include functional and

              intended</i> to be included in/over-ridden the Child
            Theme.

      BUT - this section is draft only? Does that mean that it's not ..
      required? I'm confused .. although I didn't get much sleep last
      night, that might be it.</p>
