Hi Paul,

Thank you for the patch.

Is it that only one of the two is present, or only one of the two is
connected ? In the latter case I'd make both ports required, but with
only one of them connected.

Shouldn't you specify that either port or ports is required, but not
both ? I'd also add a comment in the port node to tell it's deprecated,
and that ports should be used instead.

Wrong indentation.
