I think it could be a bit misleading to have this element here. To
me it suggests that it applies to OS reboots in general, where as
it only really applies to the BIOS boot. Also having both an 'enabled'
flag and 'delay' attribute is redundant. Surely delay=0 is the default
and any non-zero value signifies it is enabled.

I think I'd prefer to see

  <bootmenu enable='yes|no' rebootDelay='NNN'/>

leave out the rebootDelay attribute when formatting XML if it
is zero
