It's informal. The only complete formal grammar for Lojban is the PEG
grammar, see:
http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/hobbies/lojban/grammar/lojban.peg.txt
The EBNF is written in a more human-friendly way though, so the PEG
will be easier to follow once you are already familiar with the EBNF.
The PEG also goes all the way down to the phonemes:

which the EBNF doesn't do at all.
