OK, done. The following was added (see your comment [1] below 
to understand my grammar usage)

   <p> 
      As well as the <code>&lt;auth&gt;</code> element in a
      <a href="formatstorage.html">storage pool (rbd)</a>
      <code>&lt;source&gt;</code> element as follows:

      &lt;auth type='ceph' username='myname'&gt;
        &lt;secret usage='ceph_example'/&gt;

This is where I wasn't "as sure" we should be documenting what an
iSCSI authentication configuration looks like, but for completeness
 I suppose I can see your point.  Here's what I have:

...
    <span class="since">Since 1.0.4</span>. The following is an example
    of the XML that may be used to generate a secret for iSCSI CHAP
    authentication. Assume the following sample entry in an iSCSI
    authentication file:
  </p>
    <pre>
    &lt;target iqn.2013-07.com.example:iscsi-pool&gt;
    backing-store /home/tgtd/iscsi-pool/disk1
    backing-store /home/tgtd/iscsi-pool/disk2
    incominguser myname mysecret
    &lt;/target&gt;
    </pre>
  <p>
    Define an iscsi-secret.xml file to describe the secret. Use the
    <code>incominguser</code> username used in your iSCSI authentication
    configuration file as the value for the <code>username</code> attribute.
    The <code>description</code> attribute should contain configuration
    specific data. The <code>target</code> name may be any name of your
    choosing to be used as the <code>usage</code> when used in the pool
    or disk XML description.
  </p>
  <pre>
    &lt;secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'&gt;
       &lt;description&gt;Passphrase for the iSCSI example.com server&lt;/description&gt;
       &lt;auth type='chap' username='myname'/&gt;
       &lt;usage type='iscsi'&gt;
          &lt;target&gt;libvirtiscsi&lt;/target&gt;
       &lt;/usage&gt;
    &lt;/secret&gt;
  </pre>

NOTE: Changed "redhat" to "mysecret" to match the iSCSI authentication example

Replaced "The iSCSI secret can then be used by UUID or by the
usage name via" with "As well as"
