Note that the use of "synd" as a parameter is deprecated since
SHINDIG-146 was applied. Use "container" instead. Syndicator was
google's terminology for container.

I wonder if we could set a date/release for removal of "synd" as URL
parameter, see
*GadgetContext.* for the code (it has been moved around a bit ;) )

synd shouldn't be "used" anywhere, but we should let the context continue
parsing it for quite a while. There were several containers that used to
piggyback on igoogle that are still generating urls with this form, and many
of them are already starting to use Shindig.
