 I think you'll find that they *are* allowed (that is the nature of the extension).
 Read the paragraph again, bearing in mind that you are reading about Vixie cron:
 
      Lists and ranges are allowed to co-exist in the same field.  "1-3,7-9"
      would be rejected by ATT or BSD cron -- they want to see "1-3" or "7,8,9"
      ONLY.
 
 i.e. this cron does allow it.
