BQ76PL455A-Q1: Shutdown Mode

Hello again;

Can you clarify the requirement for VIO during SHUTDOWN. The datasheet (slusc51c) appears inconsistent: 

7.4.1

VIO can remain while in SHUTDOWN mode and GPIO can remain if based on VIO. While in
SHUTDOWN mode

9.1.2

While in SHUTDOWN mode, VIO and any other external supply indirectly connected to the communication, fault,

GPIO and AUX inputs must be turned off or disabled to avoid back powering the device through internal ESD structures

Thanks
