 I've been trying to clear it up for ages now, over many releases. This is
 getting far out of hand.

 I'll admit that I was indeed confused about this. Plans were always to
 follow the same path that was taken with plugins for themes. If you are
 telling us that the way plugins handle it right now is not correct then
 certainly we should not follow and instead do it differently. We can port
 that back over to plugins and solve there too.

 We do still have the issue of what to do with themes that do not add these
 headers (no matter where they are, we will always have old themes that do
 not have them included). I am not certain if we should assume those to be
 compatible or incompatible but I am leaning towards assuming compatible
 when no headers are stated. That seems less than ideal however I think
 that would be preferable.
