Yes, sometimes the spec wasn't always updated as well as it should have
been. We really need some sort of auto-checking feature that checks if
keys that are trying to be got or set are valid in the spec. - Maybe we
could xlst the xml spec to key the keys, and then add a --check-keys
option to hald that checks the keys against the list.

That part I don't know. Kay, what does block.storage_device do?
