There is already a 1.4 version in the repo, this seems like a refresh for wordpress 3.0, Ive highlighted the minor errors
I'm sure the author will fix the css error.

• The theme uses valid HTML.

Seems that the search form declares ID "searchform" twice, needs to use class instead of id for one of those divs.

• The theme uses valid CSS.

just one error ( if you ignore the css3 moz errors )
#header-center h2 shows colour #00000 should be #000000

• The theme uses minimal CSS hacks.

Theme has an ie6 file, but its empty.

• When referencing other files within the same theme, avoid hard-coded URIs and file paths. Instead reference the URIs and file paths with bloginfo(): see Referencing Files From a Template.

Uses TEMPLATEPATH to fetch locales

• The navigation is easy to understand.

Yes its easy to follow, but the theme has been updated for 3.0 but does not support the new menu system.

• Does the theme have pages tabs in the header? If so, do they overflow or have problems with child pages? Only shows level 1 pages.

o To output date format: the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) )

theme uses <?php the_time( 'M j, Y' ) ?>

• Do embedded videos look correct?

No support links just show as shortcodes

Language support YES

Theme has language support BR included in archive

Obviously a pass as the author already has 1.4 passed.
