The expanded documentation on top-level environments is quite an improvement, but there's one passage that causes some confusion. In the section '__main__.py in Python Packages', towards the end, it reads:

"""
This won’t work for __main__.py files in the root directory of a .zip file though. Hence, for consistency, minimal __main__.py like the venv one mentioned above are preferred.
"""

Problem is, that's the first mention of venv anywhere in the document. There's a 'See also:' box right BELOW the sentence in question that references venv and its minimal __main__.py, but it hasn't been introduced yet when that first mention comes along.
