+### Bindings file strictness - given when then
+
+The bindings file is semi-strict.  For example you must have only one
+of `given`, `when`, or `then` in your binding.
+
+
+```scenario
+given file badbindingsgwt.subplot
+and file badbindingsgwt.md
+and file badbindingsgwt.yaml
+and an installed subplot
+when I try to run subplot docgen --output ignored.html badbindingsgwt.subplot
+then command fails
+and stderr contains "binding has more than one keyword"

+### Bindings file strictness - unknown field
+
+The bindings file is semi-strict.  For example, you must not have keys
+in the bindings file which are not known to Subplot.

+and file badbindingsuf.md
