That's what users are for! ;-)

I only see one long code line on the page, and I wouldn't use a
continuation line to change it. I'd use something like:
reference = ("startDocument:startElement foo {'url': 'tst'}:"
"characters: bar:endElement foo:endDocument:")

We tried this for the Python documentation, and the reaction was very
mixed. If all instances of the selected element/class are purely code
examples, you'll probably be OK. (For the Python docs, what
definately killed the idea was that we use the same element/class to
display interactive sessions, and changing that would be a *lot* of
tedious work, just to end up with inconsistent displays.)

I'd say something here, but then I'd get tasked with fixing it. ;-(
Many of us are aware of the problem, but generally not those of us who
write the stylesheets.
