Thanks, I'll fix this.

Nothing! We don't merge XML files at all. The inventory class (you can
see how it works in zenmapCore/NetworkInventory.py) consumes parsed
XML files and creates a list of hosts and their information.

When you want to save the inventory back to disk, we use a
directory-oriented approach: we simply save all inventory's scans
(.xml or .usr files) to a user-specified directory. That way, you can
easily append any XML file to the inventory, even if you generated it
from the command line using an -oX option. We didn't want to mutate
the XML structure since it would further differentiate Zenmap's XML
from Nmap's XML, and would, in short, create a mess.

Cheers,
Vladimir
