[theme-reviewers] Questions on my first review

[Chip Bennett]

I don't agree that the Favicon guidelines are appropriate for extending to
all {plugin territory} functionality.

Things that are marginally presentational (e.g. sharing links)? Using the
Favicon guidelines as a model is reasonable. But Google Analytics: no
reason to facilitate Themes adding this functionality. It's not in any way
whatsoever presentational. As far as I'm concerned, that's an absolute line
of demarcation. If it's not in any way presentational, it doesn't belong in
a Theme, opt-in/disabled-by-default or otherwise.
