Maybe my question was confusing as well... <aggregation> is an attribute that is exposed for a particular type under a particular physical device. - If <aggregation> is always the same for that particular type, regardless of which physical device we're dealing with, let's just drop the "one instance" sentence. - If it instead depends on what physical device we're handling, I'd write something like "The contents of this attribute depend both on the type and on the particular instance." -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
