I understand better now. My impression was that since Kiwidude found a wrapper within calibre for dealing with this problem that it was more a question of documentation to ensure developers use the correct call for opening a web browser across platforms.

I concur with you if Kiwidude thinks this needs to be corrected or better documented he would be in the best position to effect the needed change/clarification.
