[widgets] Widget Updates PAG recommendations

FYI... Robin implemented the PAG Recommendations [1] for Widget Updates 
in the latest Ed [2]. See below. Work continues and we hope to be ready 
to publish next week.

> Taking into account the wide variety of information made available to the PAG, the following recommendations are given:
>
>    1. The WebApps Working Group should continue to work on the Widgets 1.0: Updates Specification

Yay! :)

>    2. The WebApps Working Group should change the widgetupdate function name to updateinfo

Function was removed. We don't need it.

>    3. The WebApps Working Group should change the update element name to updatedescription

Done.

>    4. In section 11, the WebApps Working Group should change the sentence that says "It is conceivable that the automatic update model could be subject to a man-in-the-middle-attack..." to say "Because it is not self-contained, it is conceivable that the automatic update model could be subject to a man-in-the-middle attack..."

Done.

>     5. The WebApps Working Group should change all occurrences of 
"widget.update()" to "checkForUpdate()"

Functions were removed. We don't need them.

>    6. The WebApps Working Group should change all occurrences of "Updating via widget.update()" to "Update-checking via checkForUpdate"

Function was removed. We don't need it.

>    7. The WebApps Working Group should change all occurrences of "[Uu]pdating strategy" to "[Uu]pdate-checking strategy"

Occurrences all gone.

Kind regards,
Marcos
