i think that would be a good idea
I'll add it.

a nice addition would be for the RA to detect the list of DomU's at
startup (and redetect during status or some other recurring action).
that would make stonith configuration for clusters of virtual nodes a
no-brainer.
I'm not sure that it would work or I don't really get it. The idea
here is to have a cluster out of virtual nodes. For example on one Xen
server I configure node1 and on another node2. Heartbeat on those
nodes doesn't know that it's running on virtual nodes under Xen but
with this new plugin properly configured it'll be able to kill a
failed node if necessary. In this configuration Xen RA isn't used at
all.
some extra logic allowing the RA to run on the Dom0 might also be a
nice extension
