I couldn't immediately see anything on that page which referred to the
ARM1176 specifically.  There is a slightly vague sentence which talks
about "[o]ther chips in the Cortex and ARM11 series", which I guess
could be construed as "all other chips", but apart from that it doesn't
seem to be saying much about what implementation goes with which ISA.

Anyway, the ARM1176 spec and reference manual are available on the web
and I think this is probably a more reliable source than wikipedia :-)
