This is especially useful for "bus", since the bus of a device's pci address is matched to the "index" of a controller to determine which bus it will be connected to, and "index" is always specified in decimal - being able to specify both in decimal at least makes it easier to assure a device is being assigned to the correct bus when it is added. For the other attributes, it is just a convenience. (MB: the parser already allows for any of these attributes to be given in decimal, and there are even examples floating around on the internet that give them in decimal rather than hex (written in the days before virsh did schema validation on all XML). This only updates the schema to match the parser.)
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
