Another patch without docs.  (It's okay if the docs comes as a separate
patch, and if a single doc patch covers the XML additions in both 6 and
7; my main concern is only that the docs get patched by the time the
series is completed, and I didn't see it when glancing ahead to 10/10).

Thanks; this validation is essential since your shell scripting was
pretty loose on quoting (that is, if a user could name a chain with an
embedded space, or worse a semicolon, your script would probably blow up).

I think it would be worth inlining this second check (the strlen) into
the first one.  That is, it would make more sense if
virNWFilterIsValidChainName checks both for valid characters and for
valid length; and all other callers only have to make one call for
validation purposes instead of two.

Illegal implies breaking a law; I prefer the term "Invalid".

s/either one of/any of/

In English, "either" is only appropriate for a choice among 2 items, but
you are listing more than 2.

[Hmm, wondering if this would be any simpler if we added the
virBufferTruncate that was mentioned as a possibility in another thread;
then you wouldn't need a 'printed' flag in your loop.  But that's a
potential cleanup for another day.]

Don't mark "%s" for translation.  'make syntax-check' should be just
fine with unadorned virNWFilterReportError(VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG, "%s", msg).

Ah, the comment line I mentioned in patch 6 got changed here anyways.
Oh well, sorry if I'm causing you needless churn in conflict resolution
when you rebase.
