What about the write-attribute operation? I would assume that the
console(s) usually don't differentiate whether a values was really
changed in the UI and just write all attributes. So we would need to
check the defaults there as well?
RHQ writes values if they are present (i.e. not what we call "unset", which
corresponds to "undefined").
In this case it writes them all no matter if they have been changed or not.
All decisions should also be taken with other clients in mind. Users that use the API
via shell script will not want to e.g. supply all attributes if only one has changed.
