Please consider to do so in the future.

Same or new line makes no difference, but curly braces is what all other
parsers I can find in base do. They support lines with mutliple space
delimited keywords (most of them can be specified multiple times), but
once unique options are specified (such as a MAC address), those are
usually enclosed in their own semantic block.
It seems off to break with what vm.conf(5) already does here, so I'll
probably wip up a diff to make the following work:
domain guest {
vnet
vnet { mtu=1500 }
vnet {
mac-addr=00:11:...
}
...
}
