  it's not any simpler. It's more complex because it adds a new element node
in the XML. Moreover I don't expect taht information to be any more structured
so it does not make sense to me to expose it as element content, plus
<cpus> could be used in the future to describe fully structured informations
so I don't think it makes sense to use it for just the cpuset.

  On input why not. Do you have a complete description of the syntax
you want to allow ?
