Which is right, the comment or the docs?

In the file tomcat-users.xml (at least the one shipped with the 6.0.23 Debian
package) the sample users have the attribute username= in the user tag.  But
in the manager-howto.html (again shipped with the Debian package) the examples
all say the attribute should be name=.  Which is right?

Might it not be an idea to document this in both the manager-howto and
the sample config file?

Otherwise its just confusing.

Either one works.

o.a.c.users..MemoryUserCreationFactory#createObject(Attributes attributes):

        String username = attributes.getValue("username");
        if (username == null) {
            username = attributes.getValue("name");
        }
