[one-users] one2 : save tag does not seem to work

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi Rich,

I've put a note in the VM template definition section to warn about
the attributes that will be ignored when using the Image Catalog.

A template validator is totally within our roadmap, we will provide
that in future releases for sure.

Thanks and regards,

-Tino
