The "out of place" text is taken from the response to formal comment #164:

   http://www.r6rs.org/formal-comments/comment-164.txt

There it is made clear that "out of place" means using a literal
keyword in an expression context. For example, (else) is considered a
syntax violation. I found "out of place" confusing without the
parenthetical remark "(i.e., as an expression where it is not
specifically recognized as a literal)" included in the comment response.
