Perhaps a generic xml editor that can also be used with generating DC manifests is what may be of real value here. My intent, (and maybe it wasn't obvious), is that the definition of /usr/sbin/aimanifest is really a re-use of that generic xml editor backend, but with single shot edits, as opposed to the use with an interactive cli where the file is left open until an explicit commit is issued to close it. -ethan
