 Replying to [comment:16 afragen]:
 > And we would then need a definitive statement of these requirements in
 both plugin and theme main files or no compatibility testing is possible.

 Right. To summarize the discussion, looks like the follow-up steps here
 would be to:

 * Resolve #meta4621, so that all three headers (`Requires at least`,
 `Tested up to`, `Requires PHP`) could be defined in the same place.
 * Publish posts on make/plugins and make/themes with an announcement for
 plugin and theme authors to move these headers to the main plugin file or
 the `style.css` file, and remove them from `readme.txt`.
 * Make `validate_plugin_requirements()` only read headers from the main
 plugin file, not from `readme.txt`.
