That's ok.   The way I look at it the domain XML describes various
resources, disks, leases, etc.  The virtlockd daemon provides a
generic mechanism for acquiring locks.  We just happen to map leases
onto the default lock type. Here we're adding a 2nd lock type and do
not require any mapping from leases.
