[openstack-dev] [neutron] Should we document the using of "device:owner" of the PORT ?

Yes please.

This would be a good starting point.
I also think that the ability of editing it, as well as the value it could
be set to, should be constrained.

As you have surely noticed, there are several code path which rely on an
appropriate value being set in this attribute.
This means a user can potentially trigger malfunctioning by sending PUT
requests to edit this attribute.

Summarizing, I think that document its usage is a good starting point, but
I believe we should address the way this attribute is exposed at the API
layer as well.
