Huh? Is ABNF a "natural language"? Is the Go language spec a "natural language"?

  How is ABNF itself specified? Yes, via natural language. And the Go language spec is written in natural language, too, you can check for yourself: https://go.dev/ref/spec https://go.dev/ref/spec

    ABNF itself is specified with a well-defined grammar and syntax...

      Yes, but the spec is still done in natural language: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5234 https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5234 Just like any other RFC.
