[theme-reviewers] Can we use Justin Tadlock's pagination in a theme?

[Edward Caissie]

This is the second time the question on "pagination" has been made recently
... although the specifics may change (and likely should be sorted out in
ticket) the general response is going to be using custom pagination is
fine, especially if the code is using core functionality to accomplish its
goals.

Essentially how pagination is created and displayed is well within the
theme author's prerogative to work with, it's just a method of displaying
data that already exists and providing a navigation method that fits the
aesthetics of the theme (or whim of the author, either is fine).

My real concern at the moment is what specific guideline is causing this
question to come up?
