I was sure there was some mention of it, As far as I can tell: 6.1 Simple Commands & Pipelines =============================== A _simple command_ is a sequence of optional parameter assignments followed by blank-separated words, with optional redirections interspersed. The first word is the command to be executed, and the remaining words, if any, are arguments to the command. If a command name is given, the parameter assignments modify the environment of the command when it is executed. May be, what is missing - explicit statement that if no command name is given, parameter assignments modify current shell.
