It's funny you should say that, I was thinking the same but one doubt
prevented me from saying as much in my previous email. That is, do we not

On the one hand, it's great if we'll let theme designers do whatever they want
in terms of the information they display, but on the other, would it not
possibly cause confusion among users?
