The _ABSENT value of each enumeration has 'default' as string representation, and when that's been formatted to XML we should parse it back successfully, so we can't just treat encountering it as an error. Callers of virXMLPropTristate*() can of course still pass VIR_XML_PROP_NONZERO explicitly to the helpers if the current behavior is the one they want. After this change, libvirtd no longer logs error : virXMLPropEnumInternal:516 : XML error: Invalid value for attribute 'value' in element 'allowReboot': 'default'. when it gets restarted while there are running guests.
I had the same issue, but did not get around sending a patch for it. What I assume is that allowReboot is one of the few, if not the only exception where we format the default zero value.

I would rather change this flag to something like VIR_XML_PROP_ALLOW_ZERO and only allow parsing default values with this flag making the callers be able to opt in for this behaviour rather then all the others having to opt out. Honestly I do not understand the flag as it is currently because it does completely nothing when these functions just add the flag in unconditionally.
