It's bizarre if it doesn't cover 1.7.  The language didn't change from Java 5 to Java 6.  We've been using JLS 3 for discussion about Java 6 in which you've participated for years.

Except for '@Override' covering implementation of methods defined in an interface.  There's probably an amendment out there somewhere for that one.

But you're right; JLS 4 definitely ought to cover Java 7.
