[libvirt] LXC support?

I've been wanting to give a try to libvirt to handle containers from LXC
as well, but seems like if I follow the default configuration example, I
get this:

virsh # create /etc/libvirt/lxc/axant.xml 
errore: Impossibile creare il dominio da /etc/libvirt/lxc/axant.xml
errore: unknown OS type exe

[sorry for the Italian message, but it doesn't really matter]

The configuration is this:

<domain type='lxc'>
  <name>axant</name>
  <memory>14680064</memory>
  <os>
    <type>exe</type>
    <init>/init</init>
  </os>
  <vcpu>8</vcpu>
  <clock offset="utc" />
  <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
  <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>
  <on_crash>destroy</on_crash>
  <devices>
    <emulator>/usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc</emulator>

    <filesystem type='mount'>
      <source dir='/media/chroots/axant'/>
      <target dir='/'/>
    </filesystem>

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address="8e:8b:e5:aa:28:b6" />
      <source bridge="br0" />
    </interface>
    <console type='pty' />
  </devices>
</domain>

am I doing something wrong or the doc at [1] is outdated somehow?
