Documentation says in '6.7.2  Normal' under syntax frame: 'Each of the items
in a normal are optional' but when object/script

  // START
    box{ -1 1 normal{}}
  // END

is parsed then parse error is returned

  box{ -1 1 normal{}} <----ERROR
  Parse Error: No normal type given.

I'm not sure where is mistake - documentation or parser ? Works fine with
every empty other object modifier block: pigment, finish, texture, interior,
material. Perhaps Parse Error should be switched to Parse Warning.
