Christian Berendt a2d662d600 Unified the syntax of the XML root element (install-guide)
The XML root element of Docbook XML files should match the following
format:

<title>Configure network node</title>
<note>
<para>Before you start, set up a machine as a dedicated network
node. Dedicated network nodes have a
<replaceable>MGMT_INTERFACE</replaceable> NIC, a
<replaceable>DATA_INTERFACE</replaceable> NIC, and an
<replaceable>EXTERNAL_INTERFACE</replaceable> NIC.</para>
<para>The management network handles communication among nodes.
The data network handles communication coming to and from VMs.
The external NIC connects the network node, and optionally to
the controller node, so your VMs can connect to the outside
world.</para>

<warning os="rhel;centos">
<para>By default, the <literal>system-config-firewall</literal> automated
firewall configuration tool is in place on RHEL. This graphical interface
(and a curses-style interface with <literal>-tui</literal> on the end of
the name) enables you to configure IP tables as a basic firewall. You
should disable it when you work with Networking unless you are familiar
with the underlying network technologies. By default, it blocks various
types of network traffic that are important to Networking. To disable it,
simply launch the program and clear the <guilabel>Enabled</guilabel> check
box.</para>
<para>After you successfully set up OpenStack Networking, you
can re-enable and configure the tool. However, during
Networking set up, disable the tool to make it easier to debug
network issues.</para>
