Part of the confusion on the term "jump stop" is because the rule lists "both" kinds together. IMO, the part describing the "jump stop" where the player catches the ball in the air and lands on one foot is redundant and not necessary.
The part describing the player catching a ball, then jumping off one foot and landing on both simultaneously, is necessary because the move would be illegal were it not for this particular exception.
