Hum, that need to be though out a bit, as we do the same kind of things at the higher level (e.g. virt-install) and then convert that to various tweaks in the XML. I think Cole was starting to write a library to ease making per OS guest definitions, maybe we need to bring this down to libvirt level. I doubt the format at the XML level will be very hard, it's more a problem of making the information database available globally for the whole stack, either within libvirt or as a component that can be called consistently from top to bottom.
