They're defined in the document but are treated as terminal symbols in the 
grammar. The definition of the terminal symbols that you find in the delta 
production: 

delta ::= IntegerDelta | ScaledNumberDelta | ASCIIStringDelta | ByteVectorDelta

are in section 10.7 of the specification.

So I think the informality would be then that it is not explicitly stated that 
terminal symbols are defined elsewhere in the document and that they appear 
with whitspace in the section headings.
