It's going away.  libvirt has the best implementation of the protocol 
(outside of Xend) that I know of.  It changes frequently and is not 
something that's very fun to keep up with.
We're moving to an XML-RPC based interface.  The interface will be 
standardized and documented in future versions of Xen (hopefully in the 
very near future).
See http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xend/XML-RPC
