Daniel P. Berrange f2f9742d4d Fix multiple formatting problems in HTML docs
The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.

This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag
problems it exposes.

<h1>Network management architecture</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a name="architecture">Architecture illustration</a></h2>
<p>
The diagrams below illustrate some of the network configurations
enabled by the libvirt networking APIs
</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>VLAN 1</strong>. This virtual network has connectivity
to <code>LAN 2</code> with traffic forwarded and NATed.
</li>
<li><strong>VLAN 2</strong>. This virtual network is completely
isolated from any physical LAN.
</li>
<li><strong>Guest A</strong>. The first network interface is bridged
to the physical <code>LAN 1</code>. The second interface is connected
to a virtual network <code>VLAN 1</code>.
</li>
<li><strong>Guest B</strong>. The first network interface is connected
to a virtual network <code>VLAN 1</code>, giving it limited NAT
based connectivity to LAN2. It has a second network interface
connected to <code>VLAN 2</code>. It acts a router allowing limited
traffic between the two VLANs, thus giving <code>Guest C</code>
connectivity to the physical <code>LAN 2</code>.
</li>
<li><strong>Guest C</strong>. The only network interface is connected
to a virtual network <code>VLAN 2</code>. It has no direct connectivity
to a physical LAN, relying on <code>Guest B</code> to route traffic
on its behalf.
</li>
</ul>
