I discovered this when I was reading up on the SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute class on
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.security.securitysafecriticalattribute?view=netframework-4.8. This class have the following code snippet which does not make sense since there can only be one AttributeUsage on a class.

[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Class | System.AttributeTargets.Struct | System.AttributeTargets.Enum | System.AttributeTargets.Constructor | System.AttributeTargets.Method | System.AttributeTargets.Field | System.AttributeTargets.Interface | System.AttributeTargets.Delegate, AllowMultiple=false, Inherited=false)]
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Class | System.AttributeTargets.Constructor | System.AttributeTargets.Delegate | System.AttributeTargets.Enum | System.AttributeTargets.Field | System.AttributeTargets.Interface | System.AttributeTargets.Method | System.AttributeTargets.Struct, AllowMultiple=false, Inherited=false)]
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.All, AllowMultiple=false, Inherited=false)]
public sealed class SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute : Attribute

Examining the "code-behind" - https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-api-docs/blob/master/xml/System.Security/SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute.xml - reveals that each AttributeUsage is for a different moniker. I would have expected that changing the product and version on the page would effect the code snippet such that only the relevant AttributeUsage was shown. As it is now one can only know the correct AttributeUsage by examining the xml file.
