Actually I believe there is. I think what was originally meant was
whether the domain would be able to do real accelerated 3D using the
host hardware, from the guest.
VBox provides an option to make 3D calls on the virtualized video card
call the real 3D api of the host hardware, thus providing much faster 3D
graphics in the guest.
Ah, that makes more sense. That sort of thing would be worth having
an explicit attribute for.
