<p>A property is uniquely identified by its [classid.]id[.instanceid]

<p>The value is stored in an optional attribute vmw:uioptional to the

true, the properties within this category are optional. The UI
renders this as a group with a check box, and the group is grayed
out until the check box is selected. When the check box is
selected, the input values are read and used in deployment. If
properties within the same category specify conflicting values the
default is used. Only implemented in vSphere Web Client 5.1 and
later as of Nov 2012.
