[theme-reviewers] Possible additions to Theme Unit Test data

[Emil Uzelac]

For the HTML5 inputs I would say fantastic! Most definitely, super idea for
sure. I am guessing that tables in example are just that, examples it would
be much cleaner to do this tableless with DIVs. As far as non-English, just
another useful thing to do. My Theme's are getting whole bunch of requests
and sometimes those ugly displays too!

Thanks,
Emil
