I don't see much difference between this readme.txt format and the
format used in the PHP comments at the beginning of a plugin file.

The existing plugin formatting seems to have worked well so far with no
problems, as far as I'm aware. What problems could possibly occur by
doing basically the same thing in a file with a new name?
