Can you explain in more detail how this would be used? The idea is that 'class' is a property of the physical hw, and that the underlying system provides this info. I can see that it could be useful for the client to set this if the system can't do the classification (i.e., the system-set value is 'unknown'). But that's probably not the use case you had in mind? > - contained-in: for plugable items contained-in requires to be > mandatory too as a plugable item can't be "floating" in the device.
