Actually XM-demo-image was just a proposal
For me beagleboard-olddemo-image indicates that it is not really an up
to date version.
I think I would prefer a name that better indicates the purpose. Maybe
add stable in the name?
Another option would be to have the image delivered with the XM as
e.g. beagleboard-demo-image_1.0 and the newer versions e.g. 1.1 etc
(or 2.0 or whatever)

Ok, I understand that (and I have not really a problem with that). It
is just the name that didn't make me too happy.
