My experience with the nova API and adding XML testing is that any 
service's XML API is broken by default (because the underlying logic is 
pretty JSON skewed, and the python clients talk JSON). So this isn't 
very surprising. Thanks again for diving into it!

Honestly, one of these days we should have another serious conversation 
about dropping XML entirely again (across all projects). A single data 
payload that works is way better than additional payloads that don't.
