This is a list  of small things i would either change in the current Wordpress release or that i advise every Wordpress template developer to keep an eye for.

Wordpress

• wp_get_archives() with offset option.
  Done, wp_get_archives().
• wp_list_pages() needs “title_before=” and “title_after=”
  No it doesn’t because it has “title_li=” and you can obviously add whatever you want there.

Templates:

• Never ask for the comments template unless comments_open() returns true.
