Do you have any examples of projects which could run with much lesser
privilege, and very constrained xenstore access, if a suitably controlled
xenstore interface was provided?

There's a bunch of program that doesn't need much more than read/write to a 
specific limited part of xenstore.

- Guest agents (reporting stats usually)
- things listening to some actions (snapshot yourself, export some storage 
thing, etc..)

Perhaps a variant of the restrict packet would be enough to drop some privileges
of the xenbus connection (at connection time) to read/write to a specific path.
