Blah.

OK how about this alternative view.  Things not specified in domain.xml are also not specified in the doman DB, and the host defaults take over, and there's no writing back to the domain database of defaults.

So the total domain view is really the sum of the local host configuration plus the domain configuration at the end of the day.
