    I think these questions are perfectly fine for a mailing list like
    this.  We are theme developers, after all.  Why not help each other
    with actual code problems once in a while?  It breaks up the routine
    of arguing over every minute detail of what's allowed or not allowed
    in a theme.  It's refreshing.  I'd like to see more of this.<br>
