Since the xen: prefix in the subject made me go look (I wouldn't have
if it had been e.g. dt: ), I may as well ask: Since previously there
was concern about bogus duplicate entries, does this concern go away
no altogether? It's one thing for there to be a legacy and a generic
binding, but another if you found two legacy or two generic ones, I
would think.

And what if legacy and generic representation differ in some way?
Shouldn't you limit processing to just one of the two categories,
such that no legitimate "already present" case could be encountered
here in the first place?
