I've updated the name in all places that I could find.

I'm sorry, that instruction is too unclear for me. :-( The main purpose
of this patch is to prepare for the markdown based specification, not
fixing the entire content. I'll leave modification of the actual
documentation to the component owners.

Fixed.

I did not choose that, that's what the section is called in the document
(and has been since at least JDK 8). The difference here is that the
anchor links are named after the actual headings in the document, not
arbitrarily named anchors (for better and for worse).

I'll give you the same reply here as for DrbgParameters.java: I don't
know enough about the domain to be able to do this job properly. Please
file a follow-up bug and fix it yourself, or assign to someone who knows.
Updated webrev: (contains whitespace fixes and rename of document, but
only the jdk repo)
