libvirt can't setup simple bridged network?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! I'm reading the libvirt network XML format documentation[1], and I can't figure out how to create a simple bridged network - no NAT, no routing, no OVS, no macvtap, etc. I.e., just a Linux bridge with a single physical interface attached. None of the 3 scenarios listed for <forward mode='bridge'> describe the simple setup that I'm trying to create, so it looks like I'll need to create the bridge separately. (It's not hard to do, it just seems like such a weird gap the in the functionality.)
