I think it is really perfectly clear already.  It does not imply a newline
substitutes a comma in any way, nor does it suggest commas are optional.  To
the contrary, it says "must have", which could not be more obvious, at least
to me.

IMO the problems arise because you make some assumptions that it would work
like some other program despite the manual never saying it does and clearly
stating the opposite.  The manual cannot cover for the behavior of other
programs.  In this place it can only give a concise description of what
POV-Ray expects, and I think it does a good job.
