Updates information about format for inst.updates and inst.ks to be less
confusing for me. Adds my name to the list of authors since if it's to be kept
up-to-date it's better to have at least one other author. Listed myself second
in :Author: field because ascii-doc doesn't accomodate additonal authors
easily.
