IMHO it is a total failure if we require the application to extend its
parser every time we add a new enum to the domain capabilities. We have
the ability to design something that is data driven - we should not build
something it is forced to be code driven with code changes for every
libvirt addition.
This is ignoring the point I made previously that the schema is not already
fully introspectable. Most of the current enums cannot be programmatically
consumed anyways, because there's no way to map an enum name to its domain XML
property. So if that's our goal to be data driven, we should address that
issue first.
I can't really think of a good way to represent that without nesting deeply or
using specially formatted strings. Do you have a suggestion for that?
Thanks,
