Actually we did mean on two lines
But the first one should read
o [239]immediately PRECEEDING OR following its control on the same line
(allowing more than one control/label per line).

Subject: potentially misinterpreted wording on label positioning
In Appendix C where it is talking about labels for form elements, it says
15. A.12.4. For all form controls with labels, ensure that the
label that is either:
o [239]immediately following its control on the same line
(allowing more than one control/label per line).
o or [240]on the line before the control (with only one
label and one control per line).
In the second list item [link 240] I would have taken this to mean
that the label is on one line, the control on the next. That is
not what you mean. I think that fewer people will be confused if
you just make it parallel with the first list item
o or [240]on the same line but before the control (with
only one label and one control per line).
Actually, I would have listed this as the first choice...
