My impression is someone got lazy and went with two terms that it's silly to
separate like that. They also need to keep the friggin' MUSTNEVERHAVEASPACE
silliness out of the dictionary.
I'd think that just "update podcasts" that took the name of the podcast as a
parameter with an optional mutually excusive "all podcasts" setting would do
the trick.
How do you you specifiy the podcast to update? Do you use the name? The URL?
This is, ironically, a PERFECT example of what has is talking about, with a
crappily documented item in a dictionary that will cause a lot of problems
because someone didn't do it right the first time.
