Syntax question: EXPLAIN FORMATTED

The Explain wikidoc
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Explain>
gives this syntax:

  EXPLAIN [EXTENDED|DEPENDENCY|AUTHORIZATION] query

... but then the text about AUTHORIZATION says "With the FORMATTED keyword,
it will be returned in JSON format."

So is the syntax incomplete?  Can FORMATTED only be used with
AUTHORIZATION, making the syntax [EXTENDED | DEPENDENCY | AUTHORIZATION
[FORMATTED] ]?
