openstack-manuals/doc/common/section_dashboard_access.xml
Christian Berendt b2235bf3fb Unified the syntax of the XML root element (common)
Execluded all XML files in the directory doc/common/tables because
they are autogenerated.

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"
  version="5.0"
  xml:id="THE_XML_ID_OF_THE_ELEMENT">
