Target is '/dev/virtio-serial/<name>', in this case the name is
'/dev/virtio-serial/org.spice-space.webdav.0' IIRC and on the source
this is a text channel in the spice protocol which the client
connected might use.  The same way when you do:

<serial type='spiceport'>
  <source channel='org.spice.spicy'/>
  <target type='isa-serial' port='0'/>
</serial>

this will get you a connection from the spice client ('org.spice.spicy'
text channel) to the guest (/dev/ttyS0 or similar depending on the udev
implementation).
