[theme-reviewers] Child theme support in the theme...

[Paul Appleyard]

That feedback is from the Theme Review Guide -


        Child Theme Support

/This section is draft only./

  * Themes are *required* to facilitate the use of Child Themes
    <http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes>. A "basic" Child Theme
    (i.e. a style.css with Template header tag and @import() of the
    Template style.css), when activated, should function exactly as the
    Theme itself functions.
  * Themes are *required* to include functional and resource files in a
    manner that facilitates the use of Child Themes:
      o Use get_template_directory_uri()
        <http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_directory_uri>
        to include functional files, or resources that /are not
        intended/ to be included in/over-ridden the Child Theme.
      o Use get_stylesheet_directory_uri()
        <http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_stylesheet_directory_uri>
        to include resources that /are intended/ to be included
        in/over-ridden by the Child Theme.


BUT - this section is draft only? Does that mean that it's not .. 
required? I'm confused .. although I didn't get much sleep last night, 
that might be it.
