I'm not sure I understand what specifically violates the XML style,
range/ipAddr below seems to be written following the same convention?

Yep, my bad. I've already rebased to master in my branch but I want to
address the feedback given before I submit the updated patches.

By the way, how am I supposed to submit the updated patchset? I'm not used
to review code by email.

Cheers!
