I talked with him about it on IRC yesterday. He wants to do [something] 
in a network hook script, and presumably wants some bit of local 
configuration that is the same for all domains connected to a network, 
but can change depending on the network. It makes sense to me that any 
toplevel persistent piece of libvirt config should allow a <metadata> 
element with user-defined contents (so pools and volumes might have it 
too, if somebody had the need).
