Hm, that seems silly. I think I just need to correct the grammar. :)
I believe it should be
   normal | embed | [ bidi-override || isolate ] | plaintext
or maybe
   normal | embed | [ isolate || [ plaintext | bidi-override ] ]

I've changed it to the former and added that 'plaintext' means
'isolate' when applied to an inline element.

Does that seem fine?
