Hi Dan,
Looks fine to me ...

On Xen we have very simple approach. When creating a guest simply
add
<console/>
And it'll cause a serial port to be setup with an autoallocated pty, so
you get back
<console pty='/dev/pts/5'/>
In retrospect calling it 'console' was dumb, but hey we're stuck with that
now and its only a tiny naming issue so I don't mind really.
Why not add 'serial' with the new syntax, making <serial type='pty'
/>
equivalent to <console />, and continue supporting the existing
'console' syntax?
Cheers,
Mark.
