[theme-reviewers] Second Opinion

That one was one I reviewed/approved; *mea culpa*.

Looks like I didn't do a full review on that one. (Looks like it was from
about two months ago. Since then, I've started looking more carefully at
textdomain, and substantial differences for TwentyTen-derived Themes.)

Chalk it up to a bad review: Bad Chip! :)

I'd be fine with suspending, and asking for a revision, to address
deficiencies.
