qemuCaps checks belong to *Validate functions.

Well, we still need to come up with the default value, but only in case QEMU
has the cap and we already agreed upon not doing this in postparse,

By putting it in postParse you get the benefit of preserving this
default for future starts (if we ever can and decide to change the
default) and more importantly it gets displayed in the domain XML.

otherwise
we'd format something into the offline config even if there was no input from
the user, so I'd like to keep it this way, otherwise the capability check would
have to be at 2 places instead of 1.

You can create a domain with pretty minimal XML and we will fill in all
the sensible defaults, there's no reason to treat this attribute
differently.
