Thanks Otto. Just curious though, will that mean all future themes 
besides Default and Classic need to follow the Transitional Doc Type, 
when following Default and Classic coding methods? I mean, I'm sure most 
will view Default and Classic theme code structuring in order to update 
their own themes to work properly for 2.7.

Same as when they want to make sure their themes work for the built-in 
Thread Comments. When they see the "aria-required" element, they'll 
think... "Well, my theme better have this too!" Of course, if their 
themes are using Strict, then what? They'll all basically have to be 
switched from Strict to Transitional doc types...?
 
Just wondering..
