The particular theme I chose requires a real web server, it doesn't work from a file:// address. Hence no point in bundling documentation that you can read locally in the tarball.
Frankly, I find this completely ridiculous. It's also goes against Boost's documentation guidelines:
http://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html#Documentation
"The format for documentation should be HTML, and should not require an advanced browser or server-side extensions"
1. No server side extensions are needed. It's a static website.
So, why exactly can't you generate static html?
2. Standard HTML5 is generated throughout. It (very slightly) fails validation currently due to using <center>, but I'll be upgrading to the latest release of the theme after the review which should fix that.
It ticks all the mandatory boxes in the requirements you link to.
