I was referring to the FAQ
(http://wiki.xensource.com/wiki/Xen_FAQ_DomU#How_can_i_synchronize_a_dom0_clock.3F)
that turned out to be not useful to answer the question. The cleanup
would be to actually provide an accurate answer on the xen wiki for a
common question like this.

Thanks for the feedback. I've added Lars to the CC. He may not have
been around for that particular doc day to help coordinate. Lars can
give you a better sense of how they run and what to expect.

Great. We just like to try to coordinate these efforts so that the
information lands (and/or is linked) on the appropriate wikis,
developer docs, websites, etc.

Thanks,
Todd
