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 complex views can be made updatable
using INSTEAD OF triggers or INSTEAD rules.
