We should soonish have code to read the /etc/xen config files, it would make some sense to be able to use the start command to launch those then, unless you really want to force converting to XML to define. I understand that currently the API allows to define only based on an XML description, but wouldn't it make sense to automatically integrate parseable /etc/xen definition files ? The description also lead to think one should pass an XML instance path, what about changing those to: "start a defined but non-running domain" ?
