You are correct; the syntax of response-policy is very unique.

response-policy {
   zone "foo" <some per-zone settings *before* the semicolon>;
} <some non-per-zone settings *before* the semicolon>;

It is the semicolon which ends a statement, not the closing curly 
bracket of a block, which is why all blocks have to end in a semicolon too.
