What will happen when the input tag of the xml has the following

For ein on Xen_PointingDevice
Should the caption be "Unknown bus Unknown device type" ??
Though I tried creating a guest with invalid values in the input tags
using the xml file,
the guest was always created with the <input type='mouse'
bus='xen'/>
tag when I saw the dumpxml of the guest.
Is there a way to supply invalid values to the input tag ?
If you try to create a guest with an invalid type or bus, you'll see
something like the following error:
<input type='invalid' bus='ps2'/>
libvir: Domain Config error : internal error unknown input device type
'invalid'
error: Failed to define domain from test
---------------
<input type='mouse' bus='invalid'/>
libvir: Domain Config error : internal error unknown input bus type
'invalid'
error: Failed to define domain from test
------------
If we're unable to get the expected values from the guest, then some
kind of error in libvirt has occurred. So setting the caption to
"Unknown bus Unknown device type" is a fall back in that case.
