Have non-prefixed hooks allows for easier communication between plugins and theme. A plugin developer can hook into something like "header_after" and add it's markup there. In cases where the hook is prefixed with the theme slug, it is impossible for the plugin developer to know what the prefix is.
> Also, is this is to be made standard will the tha_ prefix be used? I'd rather go with something more familiar like wp_.
Hopefully, no. The idea of the standard would be to have all themes using the same exact hooks so that plugins could integrate with all-of-the-themes.
