I am all for that, I also think you guys should consider porting the 
Jython Java/Python runtime to run inside Xen, so that in the longer term 
we will be able take advantage of the Twisted libraries in Xen, for 
instance I imagine the scheduler could be rewritten on top of Twisted's 
excellent async programming framework. This would also make room for 
more use of SOAP and XML, so that security policies for sHype could be 
fetched on-demand from a centralized web-service. Talk about an agile, 
service-oriented VMM!
