Sticker with Black Triangle on A319
I was in Row 9 today on ORD-DCA and noticed a sticker with a black triangle pointing up on the wall above the window. Any ideas what this is for?

It's a marking to let flight crew know of the Airbus spec'd optimal location to do a FAA mandated visual inspection of the leading edge of the wing prior to departure in known icing conditions.

One other notw... I think on the A320 there are two approved locations per wing - so there is likely two marked rows.
