<pool-name> ? I am confused here. Do you mean the pool-namespace?

I think the only separated namespace is sensible here. Because there are 3
ways
to express the rbd image path with namespace:
1. <pool>/<namespace>/<image>
e.g: the rbd info comand and the qemu-img comand with legacy rbd path:
➜  ~ rbd -c ~/.ceph/ceph.conf -k ~/.ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring info
rbd/hhan/1
rbd image '1':
        size 100 MiB in 25 objects
 ...
➜  ~ qemu-img info
rbd:rbd/hhan/1:conf=/home/hhan/.ceph/ceph.conf:id=admin:key=XXXXXXX
image: json:{"driver": "raw", "file": {"pool": "rbd", "image": "1", "conf":
"/home/hhan/.ceph/ceph.conf", "driver": "rbd", "user": "admin"}}
file format: raw
...
Note that the missing namespace attribute in image json is caused by
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1821528

2. only separated namespace: <pool>/><image> and namespace attribute or
option
e.g: the rbd command with namespace option
➜  ~ rbd -c ~/.ceph/ceph.conf -k ~/.ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring info
rbd/1 --namespace hhan
rbd image '1':
        size 100 MiB in 25 objects
        order 22 (4 MiB objects)
...

3. separated pool, namespace, image
e.g: qemu blockdev options of rbd:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/30aa19446d82358a30eac3b556b4d6641e00b7c1/qapi/block-core.json#L3585
➜  ~ qemu-img info 'json:{"driver": "raw", "file": {"pool": "rbd", "image":
"1", "conf": "/home/hhan/.ceph/ceph.conf", "driver": "rbd", "user":
"admin", "namespace":"hhan"}}'
image: json:{"driver": "raw", "file": {"pool": "rbd", "image": "1", "conf":
"/home/hhan/.ceph/ceph.conf", "driver": "rbd", "user": "admin"}}
file format: raw
...


>From these precedents, I think it is no problem to use the 2nd pattern in
libvirt XML.
I reject the 1st pattern because of compat issues.
Suppose the 1st pattern is used, it will cause problems in the following
case.
Since rbd allows the image name contains '/'
➜  ~ rbd -c ~/.ceph/ceph.conf -k ~/.ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring -p rbd
ls
attach-new
copy
hhan/2

If I used 'hhan/2' image in libvirt XML at the previous libvirt and then I
updated libvirt to the version support 1st pattern,
the new libvirt parse the name='rbd/hhan/2' as pool 'rbd', namespace
'hhan', image '2',instead of the pool 'rbd', image
'hhan/2', default namespace.


For the 3rd pattern, separating all the attributes, the xml will look like
<source protocol="rbd" pool="POOL" image="IMG" namespace="NS">

However it cannot replace the old attribute name='<pool>/<image>' because
of the compatibility.
What about keeping the old attribute the adapting this new pattern?
Well, it looks weird only rbd protocol adapts this new pattern because all
the network protocols in libvirt
use the old xml pattern <source protocol="PROTO" name="XX"> (seeing the
examples in
https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#hard-drives-floppy-disks-cdroms)
How about adapting this new pattern to all the network protocols?
Considering the effort and the benifits of that, I think it is not
worthwhile.

The above is why I changed my mind and decided to use the only separated
attribute namespace.
