    I agree with Chip that one tag would be better for end users. 
    However, I also think we need to propose multiple tags to whoever is
    in charge of this.  So, having a list of potential tags with their
    definitions is what we should put together.<br>
    <br>
    On that note, I've never had a user ask for an "adaptive" theme. 
    It's mostly "responsive."  But, "mobile-ready" and "mobile-first"
    are terms that are also thrown around a bit.<br>
    <br>
    Also, I dislike the phrase "fluid grid system" when referring to
    responsive design.  Maybe something along the lines of "a fluid
    layout that responds to screen size."  Anyway, I'm just nit-picking
    words here.<br>

        <div>I think it would be better if we brainstormed a list
          without any premptive doomsaying, so I can take it back to the
