E.1.3.4.4. VIEWs:

* Make simple views auto-updatable (Dean Rasheed)
 INSTEAD rules are still available for complex views.


I think this should refer to INSTEAD OF triggers for complex views,
since that is now the recommended way to implement updatable views.

I think it should also expand a little on what "simple" means in this
context, without going into all the gory details, and mention that
there is a behaviour change. So perhaps something like this for the
second paragraph:
       Simple views that select some or all columns from a single base table       are now updatable by default. More
complexviews can be made updatable       using INSTEAD OF triggers or INSTEAD rules.

Dean
