I've hit the point where I want to add an entry (an Infinispan cache) to the standalone.xml (or domain.xml), and I want to do it without having to write a parser. If the node is available via the mgmt interface this is easy - I can use the REST interface etc. However, my node isn't, and the recommended way to configure it is to edit .openshift/configuration/standalone.xml.

If there is something that is in standalone.xml that can't be affected 
with management operations, I'd say we have a bug.  You should be able 
to get at any configuration item at runtime.
