Note, starting the domain with 'xm create' with the same config results in:

/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm -d 11 -domain-name winxp -videoram 4 -k en-us -vnc 
0.0.0.0:3 -monitor vc -vcpus 2 -vcpu_avail 0x3 -boot cda -soundhw es1370 -
localtime -serial pty -acpi -usbdevice tablet -net 
nic,vlan=1,macaddr=00:16:3e:23:1d:36,model=rtl8139 -net 
tap,vlan=1,ifname=tap11.0,bridge=xenbr0 -M xenfv

Note, 'xl create' does not pass the '-localtime' option, and its '-net tap' 
specifies 'script=no', unlike 'xm create'. Also, for some reason, the vlan 
numbers are different between xl and xm.
