Having a better look, the <parameter-declaration> rule defines just one parameter. So, we get instead

	formal-parameter-list = "(" [ parameter-declaration { ";" parameter-declaration } ] [ "..." ] ")" .
	parameter-list = formal-parameter-list .

comprising also the "ellipsis" parameter, which, according to Appendix D.6 of the Programmer's 
Manual is functionally equal to the varargs
keyword.
