My intention was to have that all in the image tag:

<image>
  <machine/>
  <machine/>
  ...
  <network/>
  <storage/>
</image>

That way, the relative position of existing tags doesn't change, though
it's really not much of a difference. (Though I find having all the
storage in one place a little cleaner)
