It's not required for the example to function, but it prevents scope weirdness/unexpected behavior when using directives (especially with ngTransclude!). I think it's a good pattern to encourage and might prevent a bug down the road for for people who just scan for the monospace font. See [Understanding Scopes](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/wiki/Understanding-Scopes) for mgModel best practices. Closes #10851
AngularJS 
AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding. To help you structure your application better and make it easy to test, AngularJS teaches the browser how to do dependency injection and inversion of control.
Oh yeah and it helps with server-side communication, taming async callbacks with promises and deferreds. It also makes client-side navigation and deeplinking with hashbang urls or HTML5 pushState a piece of cake. The best of all: it makes development fun!
