... but *is* in the status xml (i.e. the output of "visrh dumpxml 
$domain" while the domain is running, and also the xml provided on stdin 
to the qemu and network hooks when they are called).

(also, what Vincent said in his email - names with the prefix "vnet" are 
assumed to be "leftover" from a previous instance of the domain (for 
better or worse) an replaced with an autogenerated name. But if you 
supply a name that doesn't start with "vnet", it will be used).
