Given the following assumption; the Black Goo is Death, then the observations made about the Black Goo's effects correlate nicely. As a weapon the black goo will mutate the victims into death-dealing daemons which would quickly die out as its environment was rapidly killed. It was biologically controlled Death with no ability to procreate. (*Base on all the Engineers are dead after exposure.
One major design flaw: if the victim achieves procreation while carrying Death, then Death just gained the ability to promulgate itself, albiet only in the host-dependent parasitic form. This is based on http://aliens.wikia.com/wiki/Xenomorph, which maps the life-cycle as egg, face-hugger, chest-burster, and [Death-dealing] adult.
Truisms of note: The xenomporphs in Aliens were meant to be much older than the one that was born of Kane in Alien; they do not seem to eat and only seek sustenance on the lowest level; perhaps absorbing energy from environmental sources as they are simply high-efficiency Death-machines. They cannot promulgate their species without a host, limiting their spread that of its hosts' environment. (*Based on http://www.prometheusforum.net/discussion/624/what-do-xenomorphs-eat/p1
