XML parsing(?) issue with virt_net module?

This is probably a stupid/n00b question, but I'm at my wit's end trying
to figure this out.

I'm trying to use the virt_net module to create a libvirt network. The
task looks like this (apologies for the long line).

   - name: create external network
     virt_net:
       command: define
       name: external
       xml: "<network><name='external'/><bridge name='br-ext' stp='off'/><forward mode='nat'/><ip address='192.168.122.254' prefix='24'/></network>"

This is giving me this error:

"msg": "(network_definition):1: error parsing attribute name\n<network><name='external'/><bridge name='br-ext' stp='off'/><forward mode='nat'/><ip address='192.168.122.254' prefix='24'/></network>\n--------------^"

Cany anyone point me to a hint as to what's going on?

Aargh! It was an error in my XML.

<name='external/> isn't proper XML, it should be:

   <name>external</name>
