Hum, we say it's an uri, but we interpret is differently if it's not absolute this could lead to confusion. But I'm not sure being a purist here would help that much from an user POV.
I agree - the fact that the 'uri' to virConnectOpen doesn't technically have to always be a URI (eg, NULL, or Xen, or xen) is a major cause of pain virt-manager since we have to special case parsing of it, rather than just handing off to a generic URI parser module. We should mandate wellformed URIs for the migrate API, where wellformed is defined to be whatever libxml is able to parse :-)
libxml2 is pedanticly following RFC 2396, though at some point I will need to update to its successor RFC 3986 Daniel -- Red Hat Virtualization group http://redhat.com/virtualization/ Daniel Veillard | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ veillard@redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/
