Re: [libvirt] Valid characters in domain names?

Does libvirt enforce any sort of validity of characters in guest names? Someone tried to create a domain called '#' (the single hash character) and noted that this caused failures in virt-tools: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=639601 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=639602 Had a look at the code but couldn't see anything obvious: It seems like libvirt delegates this entirely to the drivers, the drivers (probably) all call virDomainDefParseXML, and this function does no checking that I could see. If my analysis is correct, this could be dangerous.  What if the name contains a character that is special to the qemu command line (','), to XML ('>'), or to C (�)?
