It breaks semantically too, no?
(The colon is a separator, separating the variable name from its type.)

By the way,
Are you referring to a particular document?  I see the 
following document
http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/wiki/DocstringStandards
which points to the detailed document.
http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/browser/trunk/numpy/doc/HOWTO_DOCUMENT.txt
The detailed document seems the place to add your changes.
(Note that the renderred version is unavailable:
