I'm not sure what your point is. Most of what is described is similar (if 
not the same) for RHEL, since CentOS is based on RHEL.

One interesting project is pyrpm, it can help you build virtual 
environments (like chroots and images for virtual machines) much like 
rpmstrap (but much more versatile):

Furthermore it's probably fairly easy to do a kickstart installation 
inside a virtual machine do set up a working environment and then clone 
that image in Xen.
