  Hum, I'm afraid this will lead to errros for any defintition without a
watchdog ! Since that's completely optional we really should not error
there IMHO and just skip it.

  It looks a bit more complex than it should but rereading it that's
  right.

  ACK when the previous parsing problem is fixed or verified, it would
be good to get some regression tests to verify the XML parsing, saving
and QEmu command line generation.
  As well as extending the domain.rng as you raised on IRC :-)
