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"
  xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
  xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"

<para>The OpenStack Object Storage service provides the
<command>swift</command> client, which is a command-line interface (CLI).
Use this client to list objects and containers, upload objects to
containers, and download or delete objects from containers. You can also
gather statistics and update metadata for accounts, containers, and
objects.</para>
<para>This client is based on the native swift client library,
<literal>client.py</literal>, which seamlessly
re-authenticates if the current token expires during
processing, retries operations multiple times, and provides a
processing concurrency of 10.</para>

<para>Users have roles on accounts. For example, a user with the admin
role has full access to all containers and objects in an account. You
can set access control lists (ACLs) at the container level and support
lists for read and write access, which you set with the
<literal>X-Container-Read</literal> and
<literal>X-Container-Write</literal> headers.</para>
<para>To give a user read access, use the <command>swift post</command>
command with the <parameter>-r</parameter> parameter. To give a user
write access, use the <parameter>-w</parameter> parameter.</para>
<para>The following example enables the <literal>testuser</literal> user
to read objects in the container:</para>
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>swift post -r 'testuser'</userinput></screen>
<para>You can also use this command with a list of users.</para>

<para>If you use StaticWeb middleware to enable Object Storage to serve
public web content, use <literal>.r:</literal>, followed by a list of

domains:</para>
