Code Issues Proposed changes

Docbook element usage update of computeinstall.xml. 

This patch consists of a pass through computeinstall.xml to update
docbook element usage based on conventions recently discussed.  I
skipped a couple of sections:

1) The RHEL installation section, because I plan to mostly rewrite it.

2) The Cactus to Diablo upgrade section.  I think this section should
either be updated to be a "Diablo to Essex" section, or just removed.
