IEEE Std 830-1998 -Software Requirements Specifications

Team

I thought I should call your attention to International standard IEEE 830-1998.  It's a standard for software requirements specifications.

IEEE Std 830-1998 IEEE Recommended Practice for Software Requirements Specifications

IEEE have created standards on a range of engineering disciplines from networking to nuclear power.

A summary of it's contents is here where you can also buy a copy.  Anyone read it?  How close is it to the IIBA's BABOK approach?

Is requirements management an engineering discipline?  Some think so, other disagree.

Opinions?
