It seems like Apple has dropped the "Mac" part of "Mac OS X" and now only call the product "OS X Lion" [4].  Question is if this is only a marketing term or if it's now the official name. In this webrev I've used "Mac OS X". 

I don't think anyone will be confused if you continue to use Mac OS X. Until we hear otherwise, I think it's safe to leave it that way.

Instead of indicating 'JDK 6u18' at line 231, we should put "Java for OS X Lion Update 1". Someone will invariably ask which OS X Java Update 6u18 corresponds to, so it's best to just spell it out explicitly. That update corresponds to 6u31, if the JDK 6 version is important.

Looks fine otherwise.
