Two related questions:

1. Do the EBNF statements scattered throughout the D specification form a
complete description of the D grammar?

2. Is there a "non-scattered" version of the grammar available?

no

kind.

As for part 1, the grammar is incomplete and wrong, but only in a few 
tiny places. I'm working on fixing them and am going to submit a patch 
to Walter in a few days. This is a result of something connected with 
part 2; I have a sed script that extracts the grammar from the HTML and 
converts it to EBNF (or a dialect there of) I'll release it if anyone is 
interested.

Of course!

Mention it in Announcements when you've put it somewhere!

Out of curiosity, is the grammar in the docs complete and correct?  I
remember that it didn't used to be, but there's been a bunch of work
on it since then.

compleat, I haven't a clue. Correct, I have a list of about 6-10 (small) 
errors that I need to fix, so No. As to if that will match what DMD does, 
again, I don't know. (but I have a feeling, I'm going to find out dang quick 
as soon as I find time to start looking.)
