Excelleent, that phrasing covers it; thanks, John!

PS: A project for later: We should restructure the 'formatdomain.html' a
bit more, so that *infuriatingly* large paragraphs (e.g. look at the
"host-model" paragraph here[*]) that obstructs readability. I will
propose a different email when I gather the energy for it.
[*] https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsCPU -- you have to scroll
down to see the "host-model" description (this "lack of ability to
linking to the specific XML element description should also be
fixed.)
