Though failure to behave this way (see above) is hurting me;
I have an observer that get's triggered on the save, but if the save
didn't change anything (the record attributes are the same as before the
save) I would of preferred that the observer had not been triggered.

Is writing a custom update_attributes (that does a save only if it would
result in different attribute values) the way to go?

THanks in advance for your help, Jose
