That protocol document (docs/misc/xenstore.txt) is a retrospective
view written quite recently by me.  When I say there that something is
`conventional' what I mean is that new code should do as suggested.

Much old code does different things and sadly it is necessary to
retain compatibility with a lot of it.

Unfortunately we don't have a useful and up to date document
describing the format and semantics of the tree of data in xenstore.
