Ballet Glossary Cou de Pied

Cou-de-pied is a classical ballet position of the feet that is used in combination with other movements.

is this the movement of Giselle Variation?

Would you please explain your reasoning for the position of the "cou de pieds" at 0:54? The foot is no where near the ankle, in fact I would coin the term "cou de genou" to describe it. Is this a simplification to make ballet "user friendly" or is it an accepted modern/contemporary cou de "pieds?" Or an editing error? Thank you ❤
