is TRANSIENT the flag to use? it seems won't persist to xml after vm is
shutdown. This is better than the case without any flags.

Currently we don't support properties which aren't written to the XML,
because for us "temporary" means until the VM is fully shut down, but it
still has to last over saving and restoring the VM. So - needs more
work.
I just wanted to point out that implication to you.
Regards,
Michael
