That reference to MDN was just added in the last day. So unless someone 
knows of an actual page on MDN that was copied for this WPD page, I say 
take out that attribution.

In general, Mozilla's preference is that attributions point to the 
specific page that was copied. That practice may be a bit fragile in 
cases where the page is moved or removed (though the redirect function 
is pretty good), it still makes is most likely that someone interested 
in finding the original authors can do so.
