Thanks Carl, my query was really about whether if this was a typo (which 
it evidently isn't) or as seems to be the case that it while the 
back-quote is required in some instanced, it can also be that it is 'not 
necessary' in some other context and that you can leave it out altogether.

At least that is what I have got from this thread.

I was just looking to see if anything needed to be changed in our NR or 
perhaps an addition in the CG, perhaps to say that back-quotes should 
only be used in examples that use blah blah [insert specifics here], in 
the way that we say to use '{ }' even if they are not necessarily needed.

I'll leave them alone.
