Seems okay.

This feels like an open-coded string that should instead be an array of
enum values.  That is,

{ 'enum': 'VncAuth', 'data', [ 'none', 'vnc', 'vencrypt', 'plain',
'tls', 'x509' ] }
... 'auth': ['VcnAuth']

might be friendlier to applications (having to post-parse the '+' is not
friendly).

Looks reasonable, other than my concern about 'auth'.
