Description

Wiki Page http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/View_server has description of methods supported by a view server. However there is no information about Update Handlers http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Document_Update_Handlers

And another issue is that I was no able to found clear information about the following case: User submits invalid data to Update Handler and it must reject the update. Should it return null document or throw an exception? May be it make sense to report this issue as a separate bug?
