Three quick questions:
1 - The documentation for syntax definitions mentions once a syntax action, but never explains it. Is it the same as pushing another syntax file?
2 - Can someone explain to me the new embed action? As in, what arguments does it take and what does it do as opposed to the other actions?
3 - Just in case I’m missing something, are there any other actions available besides push, set, pop, syntax and embed?
Can someone explain to me the "syntax" and "embed" actions in .sublime-syntax?

There is also include which includes a context for matching at the current point in the stack. There are also commands for scoping, but I don’t know if they fall into your definition for “actions”. The syntax file document covers the commands pretty well.

there is no syntax action. About embed, just be patient, as mentioned at
it will be explained/documented soon by Will and I imagine the syntaxes at https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages will shortly thereafter be updated to use it

Search for “A match pattern can include the following keys:” Down there it says that “syntax” is a valid key inside a match. Is this an error in the docs then?

That does indeed seem wrong. I’ve never seen a key named “syntax”.
By thee way, when you update this, @wbond, please change the examples to use single-quoted strings since there are very limited situations where double quotes are preferred.
