This was really familiar... hmm.. oh yeah...

Can/should virXMLCheckIllegalChars be used?

See commits ae381879f, dc40dd60, and e1b81968

Likewise, makes me wonder if the *.rng for all those would need some
sort of updating to remove chance that a '\n' exists like you've done
here for the '/' character.

Secondary of course is should the failure be in Parse rather than
checking at startup time?

The fact that we need to forbid '/' due to it being interpreted as
a path, is an artifact of the QEMU implementation. Other drivers
might not map the names into file paths. So checking in QEMU
driver code is correct.


Ping, does this mean ACK?
