True, and I've fixed things to mandate schema compliance, so I'll drop
the unreachable error.

Not quite. It is mandatory if you want checkpoint='no', but optional if
you want to default to checkpoint='bitmap'.

Dropping another unreachable error.

The schema permits it to be absent; I can enhance the
qemudomaincheckpointxml2xml test to cover that.

Correct, dropping another dead block.

And with a couple of VIR_AUTOFREE and VIR_XPATH_NODE_AUTORESTORE, this
entire cleanup label can disappear.

If I'm understanding, you want me to populate the entire struct with as
much (or as little) information as possible in the first half of the
function, then in the second half, if PARSE_REDEFINE was set, check that
the information that is optional for normal defines is present for a
redefine?  The RNG schema doesn't make that easy to has something
optional by default but mandatory when a flag was passed, so there still
has to be a manual check; for timestamp it might be easy to validate
that a non-zero timestamp was set by the parse code, but it may be
harder for other elements where you are complaining about intermixed
validation.  In the meantime, this copies the flow used by snapshots, so
I'm hesitant to rearrange it too much.

Concur, another dead check dropped.

The schema doesn't guarantee it, but it is a coding error if the driver
didn't set the domain.  But since we don't use assert(), I don't have
any better way to express that fact.

True; I'll tweak things so that readonly disks do not default to having
a checkpoint added.

I can try to tweak that.

I just re-compared this against snapshot_conf.c, and didn't see obvious
differences where snapshots had moved on to more modern code.  Yes,
there's probably things that can be modernized (and my v10 will have a
few more VIR_AUTOFREE), but I don't want to delay this any longer than
necessary.  Thanks for the close reviews so far.
