Isn't this "should" instead of "can"?  Does it make sense to have
a 'feature' element without a 'name' attribute?

Another paragraph above already says "The list of known feature
names can be found in the same file as CPU models".  If you think
the existing paragraph is not enough, I suggest rewriting it so
the document won't repeat exactly the same thing.
