So usually when discussing on lists, we don't know how are user domains
named. Or networks. Or something else. So when asking for XML we use
$domain as placeholder and users are supposed to replace that with
actual name of the domain. The same applies for network. So these are
not bash variables - how can bash possibly know what you're up to?
