I think we're there.  Thanks for putting up with the review churn.

It looks fishy to have one...

...and then a second type='vnc' description (do we support multiple vnc 
graphics adapters on any existing hypervisor?).  How about consolidating 
this part of the example into just:

       <graphics type='vnc' port='5904'>
         <listen type='address' address='1.2.3.4'/>
       </graphics>
