Yes, we've thought about it. It's way too hard for now.
Arbitrary changes could happen to the domain.xml and the
instance would need to read the new version, compute the
differences with the old version, figure out how to notify
all subsystems of the differences, and switch to using the
new version. And some changes can't be applied while the
server is up. Oh, and coordinate all that with all the
operations that may be occurring on the server while this
is happening.
It's not impossible, it's only software after all, but it's
not something we're considering for now.
