Untested patch. Two changes designed to make it easier to create a new update type in a layer from another module: 1. Permit <attr name="url" urlvalue="..."/> which seems more natural than stringvalue="...". 2. Take the display name of the type from the DataNode's display name, not directly from the autoupdate Bundle.properties. The effect should be the same for existing instances; for other modules, this means they can specify SystemFileSystem.localizingBundle on their own *.settings files and control the display name that way.
