I see it used as an example in the document PEP 0263 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/>, and it may also appear elsewhere. 84265 1 annevk 2013-03-11 19:50:25 +0000 As far as I know there is no browser support for that label. Adding support for it may actually break pages in unexpected ways. 84301 2 poccil 2013-03-12 16:58:41 +0000 Now I understand: the list shows labels supported by browsers, not necessarily elsewhere. 84302 3 annevk 2013-03-12 17:01:56 +0000 Right, the assumption is also that if we add or remove from the last we may break the web in the process so we have to be somewhat conservative about it. Or at least only do it as much as implementations are willing.
