[theme-reviewers] Need Clarification on theme name which is fine as per the guideline and as per the other theme names !

[Chip Bennett]

You asked for clarification on the current Guideline. The example I gave
explains the intent of that Guideline.

Your changed example is something completely different, and not something I
believe to be within the purview of the TRT.

Take the name of my own Theme, for example: Oenology.

Now, my Theme has nothing to do with Wine, though I take artistic license
with it in the Theme description and motivation. Are you suggesting that my
Theme name is acceptable as-is, but if I'd made a wine-related Theme, then
it would *not* be acceptable, merely because it is a relevant SEO keyword?

Sorry, I just can't get behind that. It's not objective, definable,
enforceable, or fair.
