How so? Does it lack concrete examples? I'd rather leave a reference
to the manual that describes formatas in detail instead of repeating
suffices and/or examples.
Perhaps add one small example making it obvious that there must be no
space between number and the optional suffix? vm.conf(5) does just that
by mentioning the default.
memory bytes
Declare the amount of memory assigned to a domain, in bytes.
bytes can be specified with a human-readable scale, using the
format described in scan_scaled(3), e.g. 512M.

What was that? I doubt it used scan_scaled(3) because it does not
accept spaces between number and suffix, see the manual.
All existing configurations continue to work without any change or
exception.
