I'd use "line" instead of "row" here, just to be consistent with the rest of the file.

I think we should keep the numbered syntax as the recommended, happy-path style here, and only mention the fact that unnumbered declarations are also possible in a separate paragraph below the examples.
I also don't like mixing the numbered and unnumbered styles in the examples. It makes the syntax look more complicated than it really is.

Fixes #3384
This was written from the perspective of reference manual reader, i.e. trying to document how all the things actual work together. Since various combinations, while possible, do not make much sense, some "X is not recommended" clauses are included. Please instruct if those are not in line with actual recommendations from the RPM team.
