Hi All,

After some poking around in a theme today, I realized that something had
changed in the 1.1.3 version of the plone.app.layout egg. The upshot of this
change meant that any new themes being developed with this newer egg would
break when installed on an older 3.x version of Plone.

I've added a section called "3.1 Theme Compatibility Between Different 3.x
Versions of Plone" to this document to try to ensure best practices moving
forward:

http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/customizing-main-template-viewlets/o
verriding-a-class-viewlet

While this is a documentation update, it's also important for themers to
understand that something has changed under the covers. And, for the OOTB
project in particular, themers should strive for backwards compatibility.

If my notes here are unclear, please let me know.

Thanks!
