I agree on allowing either way without ramifications of a negative review.
We should consider changing the RST conventions to say "follow the standard
Sphinx/RST conventions" (provide a link) and add just a few things to
maintain consistency and prevent specific issues with our workflow and
publishing mechanism. For example, Sphinx/RST seems to accept any sequence
of characters to determine chapter, section, and subsections, but for
consistency we prefer to use overline/underline "=" for chapters, underline
"~" for sections, and underline "-" for subsections.
