No.  That would tie your solution to something that is opaque to libvirt.

Not quite a path node.  I was thinking more like:

<domain type='kvm'>
  <name>foo</name>
  <pool name='mypool'/>
  ...

where the new <pool> element says that anything that the 'foo' domain
does that requires creation of new files will do so within the already
existing <pool> object with the name 'mypool'.  We can also support
<pool uuid='...'> (or both name and uuid at once).  If the <pool>
element is missing, that's when the domain uses defaults and/or refuses
to do tasks where we don't know where to stick the files.
