[theme-reviewers] Heavily Commented Javascript Files.

[Chip Bennett]

All else being equal and being implemented properly, I don't see any
reason why that should cause a problem.

Given that you're not actually required to provide a version of the JS
file with inline documentation (i.e. the condensed version would be
perfectly valid on its own), providing a second, documented version is
an example of going above and beyond. IMHO anything that adds
documentation to a Theme should be encouraged.
