Christian Berendt 6be4f5775f Unified the syntax of the XML root element (user-guide)
The XML root element of Docbook XML files should match the following
format:

<ELEMENT xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"

<para>The OpenStack Networking service provides a scalable
system for managing the network connectivity within an OpenStack

network needs (for example, creating and assigning new IP
addresses).</para>
<para>Networking in OpenStack is complex. This section provides the
basic instructions for creating a network and a router. For
