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
