Well, it may not be good idea to emit the S-Expr directly to output
as you are worried.

I confirmed how I can get the cpus values at fedora8(xen-3.1.0-10.fc8),
and I expected to be emitted "(cpus '0,1')", when I specified 
"cpuset='0,1'". But xend shows nothing about cpus.
Then, I could not get the cpus values by sexpr_node(root, "domain/cpus").

I guess this is a bug of Xen, and this has not been fixed with latest
upstream Xen. So I will work about this for Xen before discussing about
how xend exports.
