[IGSTK-Developers] Requirement section headings in bug tracker

[David Gobbi]

Hi Luis,

When I wrote the email, I meant to indicate that
having the checking scripts reject "REQ ##.##" and
"REQ ##" would be a good thing, not a bad thing.

We don't want people to check in a requirement against
a section heading or a subheading.
