You're misreading the standard. It's not "void declarator"; it's "void
declarator;" . That is, it is talking about a specific sequence of
tokens and grammatical constructs. "void" is the keyword token `void`
(that's why it is in fixed-width text). "declarator" is the
grammatical construct declarator (that's why it is in italic text).
And ";" is the semicolon token (also in fixed-width text).

Now, you might say that the entire text "void declarator;" should
probably better distinguish itself from literal wording. But by the
rules of the C++ standard, this is not ambiguous.
