A question. If one will drop into /usr/share/hal/fdi/95....
a .fdi file which looks like that fragment above but with
<merge key="storage.policy.should_mount"
type="bool">true</merge>
will be this not an override for whatever happen to be system
defaults?

As far as I understand this is only one of possible nasty suprises
with "should_mount" set to widely to "true". Some of them we may
yet to see. :-)
OTOH if there would be application allowing 'root' to generate
these XML files without doing that "raw", and while presenting a
clear picture of keys and values, that would be nice.
