That page is long gone. I tried to leave a comment in the Google page, they link directly to 2.0 docs (rather than current) so I suspect that page is very very old. I wouldn't be inclined to put an extra link in the 2.0 doc because to do a complete work we'd need to track down also all the other similar use cases. It might be easier to follow up properly with Google to fix their doc.. but this is of course IMHO :) Luca
