With storage domains attached/unattached is generally a 1:1 so it may make 
sense in a way.
* not sure it's going to be in the future with shared read only export domain
* It's probably wrong even today with ISO domain in case that the setup 
contains more then one DC.

With Networks it fore may be attached to partial collection on clusters, de 
facto that will only say it is in uses by at least one cluster.

So in both cases this is wrong, 

If you insist on maintaining this property the only valid values that I can see 
ATM is INUSE vs UNUSED. - This should be true both for storage domains and 
logical networks.
