What? They have changed the syntax and I am out of date?! Horrors! :-/
I will go and learn the new syntax for these things.
VLAN AND BRIDGE INTERFACES
To ease the configuration of VLAN interfaces, interfaces having .
(full stop character) in the name are configured as 802.1q tagged vir-
tual LAN interface. For example, interface eth0.1 is a virtual inter-
face having eth0 as physical link, with VLAN ID 1.
For compatibility with bridge-utils package, if bridge_ports option is
specified, VLAN interface configuration is not performed.
Thanks for pointing this out.

Would you feel like updating it? It is a wiki after all.
