 i looked at both functions in /wp-includes/registration.php and don´t see
 anything wp_update_user brings in, that wp_insert_user can not do.

 description from registration.php
 *) wp_insert_user(): Insert an user into the database. Can update a
 current user or insert a new user based on whether the user's ID is
 present.
 *) wp_update_user(): Update an user in the database. If $userdata does not
 contain an 'ID' key, then a new user will be created and the new user's ID
 will be returned.

 I don´t really see a need for wp_update_user anymore. I´m open to any
 explanation and discussion. Thanks.
