I'll defer to people who know more than I do about these modes.

The ELisp manual says:

 -- Macro: define-derived-mode variant parent name docstring
          keyword-args... body...
     This macro defines VARIANT as a major mode command, using NAME as
     the string form of the mode name.  VARIANT and PARENT should be
     unquoted symbols.

     The new command VARIANT is defined to call the function PARENT,
     then override certain aspects of that parent mode:

        [...]

        • The new mode has its own syntax table, kept in the variable
          ‘VARIANT-syntax-table’, unless you override this using the
          ‘:syntax-table’ keyword (see below).  ‘define-derived-mode’
          makes the parent mode’s syntax-table the parent of
          ‘VARIANT-syntax-table’, unless the latter is already set and
          already has a parent different from the standard syntax table.

So there's no need to mention it because it happens automatically.
