This probably should be merged with patch5 - nice to separate for review
though. Although, like patch4 it's not that important to me.

Tough read grammar wise.

Hmmm... IIRC... isn't newDef the "next config"? Scour around for
Domain*Persistent and see what I mean. I think you have this description
backwards - hey I could be wrong, too...

An active domain for which configuration specific changes have been made
will store both the "active" and "next config" in the domain object and
the <persistent> element will signify that config; whereas, the <domain>
element signifies the active domain configuration.

There is nothing different in the previous patch between the "<domain
... </domain>" and the "<persistent> ... </persistent>"; however, I
would believe that if something changed as "config only" then it
would/should show up in that persistDom.
