As a data point, I use -eject and -v all the time, but never need dev=.

Interesting. My case is, however, not out of the ordinary, I think: I have a laptop with no built-in optical drive, into which I plug different devices at different times. udev kindly gives them consistent, but differing, names. (Maybe I should file a bug against udevd: it would be sensible if it always symlinked at least one CDROM device to /dev/cdrom, and that would solve my problem.)
