more common interpretation would be <code>label >> (8 - 16)</code>.

<li>Operator precedence is unusual. Expressions are generally processed
from left to right. The byte-selection operators have a lower
precedence than all of the others, and so are always processed last.</li>
<li>The byte selection operators ('&lt;', '&gt;', '^') are actually
word-selection operators, yielding 16-bit values when wide registers
are enabled on the 65816.</li>
<li>Values loaded into registers are implicitly mod 256 or 65536. There
is no need to explicitly mask an expression.</li>
<li>The assembler tracks register widths when it sees SEP/REP instructions,
but doesn't attempt to track the emulation flag. So if the registers
are long when you switch to emulation, incorrect code is generated.

while in emulation mode, the assembler will incorrectly assume long
registers. (Really I just want to be able to turn the width-tracking
off, but there's no way to do that.)</li>
