IMHO this description entry should be used for user-provided descriptions only. For any other purpose (like a history log) another entry should be added. > Oh and I didn't found a good place to test the feature, i.e. no test > seems to parse and reserialize XML it's always about conversions. > > Daniel > ACK. This will be easy to support in the ESX driver, because a virtual machine has an free-format annotation field where this description can be stored.
