Now I'm confused. On a previous email when discussing about
query-netdev, I initially proposed this[1]:

-> { "execute": "query-netdev" }
<- {
      "return": [
         {
            "device": "tap.0",
            "vlan": 0,
            "info": {
               "script": "/etc/qemu-ifup",
               "downscript": "/etc/qemu-ifdown",
               "ifname": "tap0",
               "model": "tap"
            },
         },

And latter on Anthony suggested to replace "device" by "id" [2].

So my doubt is: we should identify guest/frontend devices in QMP using
the word "device" instead of "id" and identify backend devices by
using the word "id"?
