[wp-hackers] Tag cloud semantics

[Knut-Olav Hoven]

I think it should be a lower bound to change the theme than to create a new 
plugin or hack into WordPress code, to get a different look.

A theme is the view, which presents the information to the users. HTML should 
not be written by PHP code.

It's OK to keep backwards compatible with plugins, but adding new features 
like tags does not automagically -have- to work with older themes.

Make the developers be forced to update their themes; it's called evolution 
and is good for development.
