I suggest adding load() methods that allow loading a device description directly from an XML string or input stream.
That would be convenient, since these conversions happen internally anyway.
It would also circumvent a problem I encountered when I tried to load a device description from a temporary file created using Files.createTempFile(...).
This worked on a Mac, but not on Windows (Resource resource = domain.createResource( aBaseDir + aDescriptionFile ); becomes NULL).
I suspect that an absolute path starting with C:\.... confuses the resource loader.
