libvirt allows spaces in vm names, there were issues in the past but it seems not removed so the assumption has to be that spaces are continuing to be allowed.
Therefore virt-aa-helper should not reject spaces in vm names anymore if it is goign to be refused causing issues then the parser or xml schema should do so. Apparmor rules are in quotes, so a space in a path based on the name works.

Your justification seems reasonable. It does mean that we'll need always quote rules that use def->name and looking at virt-aa-helper.c, that seems to be the case. All that said, I was surprised that tests/virt-aa-helper-test didn't need to be updated, but, indeed, this is a testing gap. +1 as is, but perhaps in a follow-up patch you could expand bad to be: const char *bad = "/[]{}?^,\"*"; '{', '}', '?', '^', ',' and '"' are characters used in AARE (see 'Globbing' in 'man apparmor.d') and add tests to tests/virt-aa-helper- test for this.
