why do instance details differ when requesting single instance/all instances?

Hi guys
I just stumbled upon a change that must have been applied to the REST API btw. 0.1.2 and 0.3: 


If you request the full listing of all running instances, you will not 
get the authentication bits that was used to create the instance. If you 
list a single instance you would get it:


* listing all instances:

<instances>
  <instance  href='http://localhost:3001/api/instances/inst1  
<view-source:http://localhost:3001/api/instances/inst1>'id='inst1'>
    <name>ddd</name>
    <owner_id>mockuser</owner_id>
    <image  href='http://localhost:3001/api/images/img1  
<view-source:http://localhost:3001/api/images/img1>'id='img1'></image>
    <realm  href='http://localhost:3001/api/realms/us  
<view-source:http://localhost:3001/api/realms/us>'id='us'></realm>
    <state>RUNNING</state>

    <hardware_profile  href='http://localhost:3001/api/hardware_profiles/m1-xlarge  
<view-source:http://localhost:3001/api/hardware_profiles/m1-xlarge>'id='m1-xlarge'>
    </hardware_profile>
    <actions>
      <link  href='http://localhost:3001/api/instances/inst1/reboot  
<view-source:http://localhost:3001/api/instances/inst1/reboot>'method='post'rel='reboot'/>
      <link  href='http://localhost:3001/api/instances/inst1/stop  
<view-source:http://localhost:3001/api/instances/inst1/stop>'method='post'rel='stop'/>
    </actions>
    <public_addresses>
      <address>img1.inst1.public.com</address>

    </public_addresses>
    <private_addresses>
      <address>img1.inst1.private.com</address>
    </private_addresses>
  </instance>

* listing a single instance:

<instance  href='http://localhost:3001/api/instances/inst1  
<view-source:http://localhost:3001/api/instances/inst1>'id='inst1'>
  <name>ddd</name>
  <owner_id>mockuser</owner_id>
  <image  href='http://localhost:3001/api/images/img1  
<view-source:http://localhost:3001/api/images/img1>'id='img1'></image>
  <realm  href='http://localhost:3001/api/realms/us  
<view-source:http://localhost:3001/api/realms/us>'id='us'></realm>
  <state>RUNNING</state>
  <hardware_profile  href='http://localhost:3001/api/hardware_profiles/m1-xlarge  
<view-source:http://localhost:3001/api/hardware_profiles/m1-xlarge>'id='m1-xlarge'>

  </hardware_profile>
  <actions>
    <link  href='http://localhost:3001/api/instances/inst1/reboot  
<view-source:http://localhost:3001/api/instances/inst1/reboot>'method='post'rel='reboot'/>
    <link  href='http://localhost:3001/api/instances/inst1/stop  
<view-source:http://localhost:3001/api/instances/inst1/stop>'method='post'rel='stop'/>
  </actions>
  <public_addresses>
    <address>img1.inst1.public.com</address>
  </public_addresses>

  <private_addresses>
    <address>img1.inst1.private.com</address>
  </private_addresses>
  <authentication  type='key'>
    <login>
      <keyname></keyname>
    </login>
  </authentication>

</instance>


Is there any reason behind the fact that you ommit the authentication 
bits when listing all instances or is it a bug? Or do I miss something?


Thanks
