Better syntax for display pages (or ihds) in newer releases of aspire

Syntax for specifying data for a web page in one of the oldest in Aspire. As a result it is a bit awkward. Although I haven't completely fixed it due to backward compatibility concerns I have corrected it a bit. The following is an example.

Syntax for aspire tag urls

Notice how the data portion is explicitly specified as a "dataRequestName" attribute on the URL name. Same syntax applies to JSP as well.

Following is the newer syntax for aspire tag urls.
