The risk here is that the GUri has different semantics/behaviour to the
libxml one.

If that risk is large, then we shouldn't use GUri at all.

If the risk is low enough that we consider GUri a viable option, then
we should use it exclusively IMHO. This guarantees that all deployments
of QEMU will have identical behaviour, which will lower our support
burden in the event that bugs do appear, as we'll only have one codepath
to worry about.

The test suite you provided for GUri looks pretty comprehensive, and
QEMU's iotests are pretty decent too, so I think between the two we
have enough coverage that we should have confidence in using GUri
exclusively. If we hit obscure edge cases, we can just deal with it
as it arises.

Regards,
Daniel
