 * This is seriously brand new and we’re working on this for the Codex. For right
   now, this is what I can find: [http://mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=1192](http://mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=1192)
 * I’m working on finding more information on the specifics, but what I have learned
   is that it marks Themes so they can be used during testing and for theme switchers
   to make the process easier.

 * Okay, got it from the source, this is a new thing that is a placeholder for future
   features coming soon to a theater near you. 😉
 * Ah, the joy of things in “progress”.

 * Ah…thanks for the find Lorelle. It would really be a good thing to try out the
   theme, even let some friends see it before posting live.
