    If this guideline is followed, then your theme already supports
    child themes.<br>
    <br>
    While we're on the subject though, I take issue with the "@import"
    part of the Child Theme Support draft section.  Some parent themes
    could very well auto-load the parent theme style.css file, so
    @import might not be necessary.<br>

        A "draft" guideline is one that is being added and can be
        expected to be read and implemented as is but should not be used
        as a "show-stopper" for the review of a theme. It should most
        definitely be noted on the theme trac ticket. Also, in most
        cases, "draft" guidelines should still be adhered to but if one
        (or more) "draft" guidelines are not met it is not reason enough
