i believe update has always been defined as
all of the contents of an entry being replaced
with the contents of the call.

i don't believe there has ever been a way to update individual
attributes, and only individual attributes, of an item; smallest
access to an item returns an atom-entry and its attributes.

that said, any delay-difference in updating only one attribute
verses updating the item entry with all its existing attributes
plus the changed attribute is probably rather small.
