Please note that my forthcoming review will not include any comments on
whether this feature itself makes sense or whether the XML desing you
are proposing is reasonable ...

This is mostly because the patches do not contain any changes to
documentation that would explain it and I'm not familiar with what the
feature is supposed to do. Thus my comments will be purely for the code
itself and a further review will be required.
