On the other hand, should we be encouraging guests to squirrel
guest-specific stuff away in xenstore? Really it's for communication with
backends (via device/ subdir) and with toolstacks (which can open up access
to other subdirs if they wish, since presumably they run in dom0). It's not
supposed to be a handy storage area (and indeed it doesn't persist across
save/restore).
