As a follow up, even if this becomes something we document and actually support, then it should be done in the next version of Wheel when people have the chance to discuss it. It should not be added ex post facto by a committer to the PEP repo just because they want Wheel to have it.
It was discussed during the approval process for the wheel format, I approved it on the basis that wheels provided a superset of the functionality of eggs. I merely missed the fact it wasn't properly recorded in the PEP (which is now rectified).
You can campaign to deprecate that feature *if* we ever want to make a change to the wheel format that is incompatible with it.
Cheers, Nick.
