Yeah it is a bit defensive check as redefine is supposed to be feed by
xmls we get on dumping existing snapshot metadata so we should have
consistent names and uuids. I don't think anyone sane is going to change
uuid or name in xml so may be this check is excessive. UUID check along
is fine as this way we won't use snapshot metadata from different domain
by mistake. On the other hand it is good to have more checks as xmls
are editable in the end and only limited set of editings are valid.
