Because "if-fail:" would also be quite useful.

But you could always say "-if:".

No, "-if-pass:example.com" matches (and fails) if example.com gets a
pass. On the other hand, "-if-fail:example.com" matches if example.com
gets a fail.

I didn't mean "-if:" as a replacement for "-if-fail:" but for "if-fail:" 
(without the "-" qualifier, exactly as you originally wrote it).

"if-fail:" turns a "Fail" into a match & "Pass", and turns a "Pass" into a 
mismatch.

"-if:" turns a "Fail" into a mismatch, and turns a "Pass" into a match &
"Fail".

So, right, they're not equivalent.  Sorry for the confusion.
