 I propose moving the comment defining the theme from style.css to
 index.php.

 This would allow theme authors to:
 * name their stylesheets according to whatever convention they prefer
 (perhaps with a version number in the filename to avoid caching issues),
 or
 * to keep all css files in a dedicated directory (as I prefer).

 It also simplifies the basic theme requirement to a single file.

 The transition could be pretty simple:
 1. look first in the index.php file for the defining comments,
 2. if not present, look in style.css to maintain backwards compatibility.
