The outline for the FROM clause for a LEFT OUTER JOIN is

This is what I entered into a query yesterday. Yet, today when I
edited the query in SQL view I saw
FROM { OJ "Persons" LEFT OUTER JOIN "Orders" ON "Persons"."P_ID" =
"Orders"."P_ID" }
Braces and OJ were added. This is using LO 3.5.5.3. I got a similar
result when using SQL to create a RIGHT OUTER JOIN. Does anyone know
where this is documented? It appears Base is adding this for clarity.
Should this be included this in the documentation?

Dan,
I see similar behavior with MSSQL Server and other db's. It probably
should be mentioned that FROM and WHERE clauses will be parsed to show
the best guess of what query should be and that text strings may be
highlighted. It is somewhat useful for debugging a query but it could
confuse a beginner who has not seen this before.
