PCI devices are plugged into function 0 of whatever slot they're
using. The parser makes these optional, setting them to 0 when not
specified, and it's logical for the schema to also make them optional.

Well, looking into our PCI address parser, all of the attributes are
optional, even domain and bus.
Right. It's only virsh's validation against the schema that causes problems.
None of my guests have non-zero domain
actually ;-).
Yep. I'm not sure why we waste so much imaginary ink formatting all
those "domain='0x0000'" attributes, especially since there isn't even a
way to specify a non-0 domain for the guest-side PCI address of a
device. The only thing we (or qemu) support it for is the *host* side
PCI address of devices that are being assigned with vfio or legacy KVM
device assignment.
Of course it's always possible that it may be supported in the future,
but even if that happens, "0" seems like a pretty safe default that
could be omitted from the stored/displayed config.
Your call whether to loosen schema even more or stick with
your approach.
I had done it that way initially (made bus optional as well), then
backed off but I don't remember why now. I guess because I couldn't
think of a valid reason why someone would need to specify slot or
function but leave out bus (and slot 0 of bus 0 is reserved, so can't be
used. And Cole used a different method of allowing plain "<address
type='pci'/>" in his series to force PCI addresses for devices that may
otherwise use virtio-mmio (although he may want to do it by simply
making bus optional as you suggest).
