-update <id> <attribute> <value>
+update <node id> <attribute> <value>

+  * The ''node id'' is a number.
   * The ''attribute'' is a text referring one of the defined [[attr:overview|attributes]].
-  * the ''value'' is a string which must be enclosed in quotes (single or double at your leisure, but must be matched) if it contains any white-space or special characters.
