We should just say what we mean, and not be afraid of using more than one sentence, we don't pay a premium for using the '.' character. As I understand it, the intent is more like If the -o option is used, the pathname shall be outfile, otherwise the pathname is that encoded in the file data header by uuencode. If the pathname so determined is "-" or "/dev/stdout", output in the same format as the file originally encoded by uuencode shall be sent to standard output, otherwise standard output shall not be used. With the wording and formatting cleaned up to be nicer. Perhaps making the earlier text more clearly contain the first sentemce, and limiting the STDOUT section to simply the second (omitting "so determined" of course).
