When users want to update a path to a CDROM they tend to
982648
construct a very minimal XML and feed the API with it. This is
982648
not a good practice as it breaks the assumptions the API is built
982648
on. Most notably, leaving an element out should be treated as a
982648
request for removal of the corresponding setting. Just like
982648
leaving out <bandwidth/> clears out any QoS previously set.
