Standards - Compiler directive >>IF nitpick

Looking at 7.2.14.1 - IF directive/General format, it reads as
though text-1 and text-2 can be on the same line as the IF
respectively the ELSE.
This, of course, is not true as made plain by the then following syntax
rules.
Recommendation -  In the General format, move text-1 and text-2 to
seperate lines.

(It's also like this in 2002)

As I recall, this was discussed before the '02 Standard.  The problem is tha
t if
text-1 and text-2 were on "separate" lines, they would look like they were
options that could appear INSTEAD of >>IF and >>ELSE.

Syntax rules may ALWAYS put "constraints" on what appears in the diagrams.
