We are going to add support for specifying offset and size attributes which will allow controling where the image and where the guest data itself starts in the source of the disk. This will be represented by a <slices> element filled with either a <slice type='storage'> for the offset of the image format itself. <slice type='format'> then controls where the guest data starts in the image. Add the XML documentation and RNG schema.
