Wouldn't something need to read this file for it to be controlling the
defaults? Would that "something" replace the libxl_*_init and other
places where the library provides a default? How does this work with
other toolstacks using libxl?
Or is this intended to be an xl version of the existing xmexample.*
files? In which case calling it xlexample.* might help people towards
this conclusion. Also avoiding the term "default" would help -- a
default is different to an example.

If this file really is supposed to contain defaults and not examples
then I don't think a default makes sense for this kind of setting.
There is no sane default for disks other than None, they are always
going to have to be in the guest specific config file. Similarly for
nics, kernels, ramdisk etc.
