Of course "xcp-networkd" already contains the word "daemon"... but
I've considered various ways of avoiding this and none of them seem
worth the effort.

In the control file:

At present this is 404ing; it should probably be

  Homepage: http://www.xen.org/products/cloudxen.html

There's still something slightly odd about this sentence, and when I
look at the upstream version I see it's because it has been lost a
vital word while being cut down from something more verbose:

    guest operating systems, including Linux network and storage support.

(XCP's blurbage may be buzzwordy, but at least it's less foggy than
most cloud-computing stuff we see on this list.)

Add "serial comma" (there are lists with serial comma already in the
next paragraph, so I get to say "for consistency").

Ditto, but first there's a grammar error: it "addresses" them.

Chopped list salad with extra verbosity.  If I'm right to interpret
this as "XCP consolidates A, and enables B, C, and D, thus contributing
to W, X, Y, and Z" then I'd recommend cutting it into two sentences
(at "... This contributes to...").  But now I've got stuck trying to
rearrange it into something that actually sounds good.
 
    XCP consolidates server workloads, and enables savings in power,
    cooling, and management costs. This improves reliability and
    adaptability in ever-changing IT environments, with optimized use of
    existing hardware, and contributes to environmentally sustainable
    computing.

If you're on a non-Xen system, how is your target "another" XCP
system?  Shouldn't it be just:

    This tool can be used from dom0 to control a Debian XCP system, or
    from a non-Xen system to control an XCP or Citrix XenServer system.

The form of trees and balloons?  No, I get it, you mean:

   xenstore trees, and can balloon domains up and down.

Project", so this is one of the few pieces of software with a better
excuse for the X in its name than "it sounds cool".

Template: xcp-xapi/networking_type
Type: select
Choices: bridge, openvswitch
Default: bridge
_Description: XCP networking manager:
 The xcp-networkd daemon supports two network backends: standard Linux bridging
 and Open vSwitch.
 .
 While both modes support a similar feature set,
 Open vSwitch provides additional features such as QoS, monitoring,
 and control using the OpenFlow protocol. These additional features
 are not controlled directly through the XenAPI, but can instead be
 enabled and controlled through the ovs-* suite of commands.
