When users want to update a path to a CDROM they tend to
51d9a2
construct a very minimal XML and feed the API with it. This is
51d9a2
not a good practice as it breaks the assumptions the API is built
51d9a2
on. Most notably, leaving an element out should be treated as a
51d9a2
request for removal of the corresponding setting. Just like
51d9a2
leaving out <bandwidth/> clears out any QoS previously set.
