'!' as separator for sxp?

'!' as separator for sxp?

I'm trying to determine if '!' is in fact a separator in domain sxp. 
According to is_separator() in tools/python/xen/xend/sxp.py it is

    def is_separator(self, c):
        return self.in_class(c, '{}()<>[]!;')

But '!' is a valid character in domain sxp, e.g.

(vbd
  (protocol x86_64-abi)
  ...
  (mode w!)
  ...
)

With '!' being a separator, mode must be quoted in order to parse the
above sxp config correctly.  I cannot find any other use of '!' in
domain sxp - and certainly no use of it as a separator.

Does anyone know of the use of '!' as a separator?  If not, the attached
patch removes it from is_separator().

Regards,
Jim
