(j3.2006) Is this or is this not F95-standard conformant?

That would seem to be careless wording.

Since a subscript triplet can be emulated by a vector subscript, I think it is 
obvious that this is intended and that we were just trying to capture "stride" 
and "vector-subscript" without listing them.  We should have an interp.
