And so I stand corrected. The important sentence is " The alternate move sequence given by an RAV is one that may be legally played by first unplaying the move that appears immediately prior to the RAV. "
for as it stands, the 1.e4 (1..d5) example satisfies the formal syntax, IMHO. This sentence alone forbids that. I was under the impression that RAV allowed illegal moves, as in commentaries. But the sentence that I was remembering : " Because illegal moves are not real chess moves, they are not permitted in PGN movetext. They may appear in commentary, however. One would hope that illegal moves are relatively rare in games worthy of recording. " clearly now shows that comments are NOT annotations : RAV are part of the movetext, but not everything that is between braces. Commentaries are not even treated in the formal syntax, and so is quite informal, actually.
