This is a good condensed version of what we have to do to develop themes for WordPress.com VIP program. There we have a little more leeway as far as custom plugins tho.
James, thanks for the link to the guidelines – a lot of common sense stuff and some new pointers there I found helpful. Definitely useful overall from a developers point of view given that Automattic is obviously more likely to consider (and have more info on!) the future evolution of the WordPress platform in terms of theme design. Hopefully the designers of premium themes like Genesis etc take note of these too.

And thank you very much Automattic. Indeed some great coding practices to follow when developing WordPress themes.
