This patch adds a new element <title> to the domain XML. This attribute can hold a short title defined by the user to ease the identification of domains. The title is limited to 40 bytes and can't contain newlines.
I'm not convinced that putting a hard limit on the title length is a good idea. That feels like a limitation just to suit the display used in virsh. If an app only has space to show 40 characters, then it is free to truncate and append '...'
Agreed; virsh can do what it wants with the data.
Also note that 40 bytes may be equivalent to as few as 12-15 printable characters in UTF-8 with non-western languages since single characters can take 3 bytes or even more
