[theme-reviewers] Theme text domain and function name prefix

[Srikanth Koneru]

Yes, they all use same code base and I am switching them all to _s
Otto said text domain can't be same but I have no idea why tough.
I will be providing English pot/po/mo files in the theme so translators
don't even have to look into template files. Even then text domain can't be
same?
