Hi Bernard, hi Stéphane,

the only "documentation" of the VirtualBox.xml format that I know of is the 
VirtualBox source code, and you'll find the group attribute names in 
src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox/src/manager/chooser/UIChooserAbstractModel.cpp 
(search for "go", including the quotes).

AFAIU, "go" represents an open group, "gc" represents a closed group. I'm not 
sure about the roles of "n" for "name" and "nf" for "name favorite".

Regards
