In the "syntax" box at the top of the <activity> element documentation, we see:

android:launchMode=["multiple" | "singleTop" |
                              "singleTask" | "singleInstance"]

However, historically, there was no "multiple" -- it was "standard". And the rest of the document seems to refer only to "standard".

Whatever the answer is (simple typo, or incomplete rename of the value), the documentation should be consistent. And, if the official name is indeed changed to "multiple", the docs should mention "standard" as the backwards-compatible option (akin to "fill_parent" vs. "match_parent").
