You should be able to read it? At least for your domain entry?

Well, you can't access all of it b/c there is an ownership of the
/local/domain/0 being under Dom0. Not under DomU. AFAICT the backends
use those entries (for example, netback detects via watches that
somebody wrote in /local/domain/0/backend/vif and calls its .probe
function), they will interogate the XenStore and then create udev events
which are fired off to userspace.
