Yes to the first part, but no the second. Comparing XMLs is not as easy
as you would think. For instance:
<domain id='1' type='kvm'>
<uuid>123456</uuid>
<name>myGuest</name>
</domain>
<domain type='kvm' id='1'>
<name>myGuest</uuid>
<uuid>123456</uuid>
</domain>
The former is just an example of possible user input, the latter is how
libvirt would format it. Obviously, these XMLs are equivalent, but not
stcmp() equal.
