I suggest:
There is an alternate form of command substitution:
${ COMMAND; }
and clarify later the other variants in addition to a space:
The character following the open brace must be a space, tab,
newline, '(', or '|', and the close brace must be in a position...
I support either that change, or reordering the text to specify "C" at
the beginning, when the syntax is being described, before the semantics
are described:
I think it's more important to describe the primary reason it differs from
standard command substitution before getting into the syntax.
