MAC documentation typo

I was reading through the MAC section of the FreeBSD Handbook and came
across the following error on a  page
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mac-implementing.html):

_snip_
And adding the following line to the default user class:

:label=mls/equal,biba/equal,partition/equal:
_endsnip_

The partition label appears syntactically incorrect.

>From the mac_partition(4) man page:
   
Label Format
     Partition labels take on the following format:

	   partition/value

     Where value can be any integer value or ``none''.	For example:

	   partition/1
	   partition/20
	   partition/none

There is no mention of 'equal' being a valid value for a partition label.

Based upon the remainder of this document, it appears as if the
correct partition label should be 'partition/15'.

Thanks,
Nick
