[theme-reviewers] New Tags in 3.0: home_url(), site_url(), admin_url()

[Edward Caissie]

I'd have to agree with Simon ... a recommendation, at the absolute best.

To make them requirements over bloginfo() variations, for all intent and
purpose, would empty the repository.

Granted those appear to have a significant amount of utility built in that I
will be looking at for future themes, although I will likely not be
replacing existing bloginfo() instances in any of my current themes.

Of course, with that being said, a reference to their usage should be made
more obvious, but I believe it would be best served from the codex page(s)
referencing the bloginfo() function usage rather than the Theme Review
page(s).


Cais.

PS: My point of having the WordPress Devs form the list of required items a
theme must use is further supported by this thread. EAC.
