Since we're in the mode of defining things, what is a "multi-domain
notion?" I see it as a an ability to manage within the same tool multiple sets of
servers where each set has it's own management policy. The sets of servers are
conceptually distinct (hence the separate management policy / domain) but, generally for
operational ease of use reasons, users wish to manage multiple domains from the same
tool.
Right, which is why I don't see this as impacting what the domain.xml looks like. This
notion exists above the servers and profileservice. We are told what domain we are
operating in.
The "server-group" notion is the collection of unclustered
servers. So in the simple case of a domain that's a collection of a homogenous set of
unclustered servers, we'd just be requiring a bit more XML.
I can see having a capability to deploy to a domain as a convenience, but it can get
conceptually messy.

Agreed, but not sure what you were getting at here. Were we mixing them?
I see
deploying to a domain as both a configuration of a profile at the domain level, and a
runtime operation of pushing content out to all servers. I see it can be messy if the
deployment impacts clustered services. If we have any hope of getting the domain.xml
function in AS6, we need to separate getting a server to be driven by a domain.xml from
how the provisioning would happen.
