If the theme author wants to display an example, the best way imo is to add a small description under the twitter, facebook link fields. <div>like: e.g:<a href="http://twitter.com/youraccount">http://twitter.com/youraccount</a><div>

These notices are in the administration panels so readers of the site will not (and should not) see these items by default.<br>
<br>As to the Social icons enabled by default, no that is not acceptable. Using the Author URI as an example, personally I would rather see example email addresses, domains URL etc. be much more generic such as <a href="mailto:yourname@exmple.com" target="_blank">yourname@exmple.com</a> and <a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">http://example.com</a> rather than anything specific to any particular Author URI or Theme URI or related email addresses.<br>

Is this kind of behaviour allowed?</div>
