Sorry, this was my mistake. If i just spent 60 more seconds reading the rules properly I would have seen this.
Although... it has bought up another possible bug with docs. The "Report an error" box (which I used to send the original message) seems to not be escaping HTML correctly... as seen in the previous message.

For some reason, the spec puts the CURSOR keyword into <cursor
properties>, but it's definitely there:
<cursor properties> ::=
[ <cursor sensitivity> ] [ <cursor scrollability> ] CURSOR
[ <cursor holdability> ]
[ <cursor returnability> ]
