Well, I'm not sure about the meaning of "original config XML" but I do
not think it is possible because the original config file might be not XML
like a Xen config file. Xen does not have XML file.
Is this right ?
Yes I'm not sure that in general you can always hope to reconstruct the
content of the configuration file just from a pointer to a running
instance,
