Section 4.3, pg.11 says:
Arguments: mailbox-name | entry | value | list of entry, values
It should say:
Arguments: mailbox-name | list of {entry, value} pairs
Notes:
Location is top of page 11.
Rationale:
The prose version of the syntax specification is confusing.
The ABNF in Section 5 is much more specific, and the prose
should correspond to the ABNF. The relevant ABFN rules
in Section 5 (pg.14/15) are (stripped of comments):
setmetadata = "SETMETADATA" SP mailbox SP entry-values
entry-values = "(" entry-value *(SP entry-value) ")"
entry-value = entry SP value
