Something like an abstract container declaration. That is an interesting concept because it could probably be used to satisfy all parties. It seems that everyone has his own idea on what a container should "feel" like, in term of pid virtualisation and container parent hood also, at least. May be there is not a unique model. Just booted 2.6.15-openvz.025stab014, I'm going to have a look at the concepts you put place.
