That "otherwise" gets a bit awkward, but I like the idea. Perhaps<br>
"braces must not be omitted, and should normally be formatted as<br>
follows. ... Where other C styles would permit a braceless one-liner,<br>
the expression and braces may be moved to a single line, as follows: "<br>
<br>
   if (x > 5) { y++ }<br>
<br>
I think that is clearly better, but it may be *too* lightweight for<br>
flow control.<br>
<br>
   if (!obj)<br>
     { return -1; }<br>
<br>
does work for me, and I think the \n{} may actually be useful for<br>
warning that flow control takes a jump.<br>

Either of those two, with preference for the second on multiline ifs, seems quite readable to me.<br>
