The documentation guidelines in the devguide list a convention for section headers:

http://docs.python.org/devguide/documenting.html#sections

The current wording, however, can be interpreted to mean that this convention is always (and should always) be used.  However, the reality is weaker.  For example, see:

http://bugs.python.org/issue17109#msg181302

This issue is to update the wording so the convention is more clearly a suggestion rather than a requirement.
