+          *       - At the top of the 3D Geometry pipeline, the VF's
+          *         InputAssembly function creates VUEs and initializes them
+          *         from data extracted from Vertex Buffers as well as
+          *         internally generated data.
+          *
+          *       - VS, GS, HS and DS threads can compute, format, and write
+          *         new VUEs as thread output."

+          *    "Software must ensure that any VUEs subject to readback by the
+          *     3D pipeline start with a valid Vertex Header. This extends to
+          *     all VUEs with the following exceptions:
+          *
+          *       - If the VS function is enabled, the VF-written VUEs are not
+          *         required to have Vertex Headers, as the VS-incoming
+          *         vertices are guaranteed to be consumed by the VS (i.e.,
+          *         the VS thread is responsible for overwriting the input
+          *         vertex data).
+          *

+          *         thread-generated VUEs are required to have Vertex Headers,
+          *         as the GS will consume all incoming vertices.
