Brett, should this be reassigned to docs@python? I gave a suggested text change months ago. The need for a change like this was mentioned again today on pydev in the thread "Can Python implementations reject semantically invalid expressions?". Since the current deficiency has been noted repeatedly, I think the priority should be at least normal.

Unless someone suggests something even better, I think my proposed replacememt should be accepted, formatted, and applied. I think it is definitely better than the current text.
