Isn't this a syntax error?

Documentation/config.txt says this.

    Subsection names are case sensitive and can contain any characters
    except newline (doublequote `"` and backslash have to be escaped as
    `\"` and `\\`, respectively).  Section headers cannot span multiple
    lines.  Variables may belong directly to a section or to a given
    subsection.  You can have `[section]` if you have `[section
    "subsection"]`, but you don't need to.

    There is also a case insensitive alternative `[section.subsection]`
    syntax.  In this syntax, subsection names follow the same restrictions
    as for section names.

    All the other lines are recognized as setting variables, in the form
    'name = value'.  If there is no equal sign on the line, the entire
    line ...

I read "All the other lines" to mean that the section headers and variable definitions are supposed to be on different lines.
