I'm not sure if this rule applies to www/ : or not, but since we want our pages to be as easy to read as possible, : one would think that that rule applies here as well. Feel free to fix it. However, I think the passage is similar to "You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish." I'll even change it if that's the consensus.
