Not bad, but since this function is called when loading existing domains on daemons startup, then this error would cause that domain config not to be loaded and it would disappear from the list of domains. What's more, not all <graphics type='...'> support <listen type='network'/>, so requiring that unconditionally would not be very user friendly. For validations like this we have virDomainDefValidate() which actually does avoid exactly this scenario (see the comment of the function). And you even say "validate" in the subject ;) If all hypervisors support <listen type='network'/>, then you can validate it inside virDomainDefValidateInternal(), probably in a new function.
