In general yes, but I was thinking about a bit different schema:

<domcapabilities>
  ...
  <migration>
    <compression>
      <method name='xbzrle' default='yes'>
        <param name='cache'/>
      </method>
      <method name='mt'>
        <param name='level'/>
        <param name='threads'/>
        <param name='dthreads'/>
      </method>
      ...
    </compression>
  </migration>
</domcapabilities>
