"Just a vnet interface, no bridge" means you want no network.  Where
should the vnet be connected?
The host is able to handle the routing. It seems I could just declare an
interface of type "ethernet" instead of "network" to get the effect I
want.
I'm sorry, but I have no idea what is the end result you are trying to
achieve.  Could you describe what are your trying to set up without
libvirt technicalities?
I have a process watching libvirt event to add a route like "ip route
add 192.0.2.147/32 dev vnet18" once the VM is spawned. The host is then
responsible for any routing to/from the VM. I don't want the VM to be
part of a bridge.


Note that once libvirt 2.1.0 is released (just entered freeze yesterday), you will be able to specify the host-side IP address for the tap device, as well as any routes to add to the host, right within the <interface> element, e.g.:

   <interface type='ethernet'>
      <source/>
        <ip address='192.1.2.147' prefix='32'/>
<route family='ipv4' address='192.0.2.147' prefix='32' gateway='192.1.2.147'/>
      <source/>
      ...
    </interface>


This will avoid the need to watch a libvirt event.


(it's interesting that you're apparently adding a route to the tap device without assigning an IP address to it. I'd never tried that, and didn't realize it would work.)
