Right, it's also an odd question. Because I'm not sure which SDKs
actually talks to the XML interface (python does not, and I didn't think
jclouds did either). I doubt that 30% of the OpenStack users wrote their
own client library to talk to the API.

So we really need the next layer on this to call it valid statistics.
Because 100% of users are using the JSON API (given that OpenStack
components talk between each other on JSON only). And you have to go out
of your way to us XML.
