I agree with the goal of the patch, but I think all the index assignment code
should be moved to somewhere in the PostParse call path. The fact that the
controller ParseXML now needs to act on the entire domain def is a giveaway
that it's in the wrong place.
Also this seems like it should have test suite changes too
