That's awesome news.  Thanks for the success report.  The ability for Xen to 
self-host (even if it's only to run paravirt Xen in the HVM domU) is really 
cool, and (I suspect) could be quite useful (e.g. for testing deployments, 
subdividing a machine amonst multiple users, etc).

Thanks very much for letting us know!

Cheers,
Mark
