Comment:
Added clarification of scope of "language" property

- The ''language'' property tells CouchDB the language of the view functions, which it uses to select the appropriate ViewServer (as specified in your couch.ini file). The default is to assume Javascript, so this property can be omitted for Javascript views.
+ The ''language'' property of the design document tells CouchDB the language of the functions inside it -- map, reduce, validate, show, list, etc. Based on this it selects the appropriate ViewServer (as specified in your couch.ini file). The default is to assume Javascript, so this property can be omitted for Javascript-based design documents.
  
  == Altering/Changing Views ==
  To change a view or multiple view just alter the design document (see HttpDocumentApi) they are stored in and save it as a new revision. This causes all the views in that design document to be rebuilt on the next access in case the view code has been changed.
