Normally you set 'filetype', not 'syntax'. The difference is that
'filetype' sources the appropriate filetype-plugin(s) (which declare
filetype-specific mappings, etc.); if filetype indenting is on it also
sources the appropriate indent script, and in addition to all that it
sets 'syntax' to the value of 'filetype' in order (if syntax
highlighting is on) to setup the syntax highlighting. Setting only
'syntax' would set the syntax highlighting but not the mappings and
(even if you have used "filetype indent on") not the filetype-specific
indenting.
