Description

All valid XrSwapchainUsageFlags values passed in a session created using XrGraphicsBindingD3D11KHR must be interpreted as follows by the runtime, so that the returned swapchain images used by the application may be used as if they were created with the corresponding D3D11_BIND_FLAG flags. The runtime may set additional bind flags but must not restrict usage.
