You need to wrap long lines.

But URLs you don't need to wrap.

These are not optional properties because this is a whole other node. 
Group things by node (perhaps even make this 2 docments) and within each 
node you describe required and optional properties.

spurious space         ^

This needs to be more specific. Is there an IP version?

This is a DisplayPort encoder?

But 'clocks' are input clocks.

Needs a better name than 'clk'.

'_clk' is redundant.

Doesn't this block require some clocks too?
