Comment:

 > We can port that back over to plugins and solve there too.

 That is the great hope, yes. :)


 > 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.

 Realistically, assuming compatible is what we do now since there is no
 compatibility testing or information available. No reason to change that
 default behavior. More to the point, no need to create a blocking issue
 for ourselves by changing it unnecessarily.

 Closing as per @afragen's comment above.
