>>>I am using startupPolicy optional, and I'm seeing the device attached and detached 100% of the time.  I can start the domain with or without the device attached to the host, plug and unplug it and it appears and disappears from the guest, which is exactly the behavior I want.  My domain XML is attached.

Eerything worked as I would expect: if the device wasn't plugged into the host, it wasn't shown by lsusb in the guest.  Plugging in the device to the host caused it to appear in the guest.  If the device was shown by lsusb in the guest I was able to talk to it.
