I don't think so - it makes it harder for an app to process, since they
need to know the nams of all the backend specific parameters in order
to extract the attribute. By having individual <params> you can easily
access them all with XPath - eg  /domain/schedular/param/@name  can
give you a list of all param names very nicely. it also maps to the 
virSchedInfo data struct nicely
