The body of the function is the list of commands between { and }. The { must be followed by a space. Execution of functions is described below (see Execution section).

But the text in the POSIX standard is not related to that but rather to the ksh function definition: function identifier { list ;} Define a function which is referenced by identifier. The body of the function is the list of commands between { and }. See Functions. Since the POSIX text mentions only the version with a compound statement, I see no reason for a need to add more hints.
