This is subtly incorrect.
A *Multi-Headed* MLD presents one or more devices to one or more hosts.
A *Multi-logical Device* presents one or more devices to one or more
upstream devices (such as a switch).
You can have a Single-Headed Multi-Logical Device that presents 2
"Logical Devices" to a single upstream device (host or switch).
So please change "one or more hosts" to "one or more upstream devices".
With that change you may add
