+      This element provides means of setting state of the virtual network link.
+      Possible values for atrribute<code>state</code>  are<code>up</code>  and

s/atrribute/attribute/

+<code>down</code>. If<code>down</code>  is specified as the value, the 
interface
+      behaves as if it had the network cable disconnected. Default behaviour, 
if this
+      element is unspecified is to have the link state<code>up</code>.

Mismatch of commas doesn't read well.  Both of these approaches will 
work in English:

Default behavior, if element is unspecified, is ...
Default behavior if element is unspecified is ...

although I tend to prefer the first (that is, add a comma after 
"unspecified").

ACK with those fixes, although no point in pushing the xml changes until 
we fix the rest of the series to use the new xml via existing api rather 
than inventing new special-purpose api.
