So if I change to:
Using the 'require' value for the 'policy' attribute indicates
that the guest will have the feature so the host CPU does not need
to support it if the hypervisor can emulate it.
E.g. 'x2apic' is emulated by QEMU even if the host does not support it:
<feature policy='require' name='x2apic'/>
I think that covers it.
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.)
