[theme-reviewers] XML theme

[Baptiste Lafontaine]

Hi,

After a few months I've just realized that I didn't have an answer to this.
You can consult the whole thread here :
http://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2012-March/008552.html

What are the conditions for this "guidelines exemption" ?

I've available if you need additional information.

Thanks.
