I'm following a post from Shiner (see below). Our SEO guy tells us that a better DTD would be <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> instead of <sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84"> that apparently Yahoo does not like too much. Let me know, thanks CH In a related issue, there is no DTD (xsd) specified within the sitemap file, which causes the data not to be displayed formatted.
(Which is probably why the missing /n gets noticed more).
Will you be adding a DTD ?
(an example)
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">
I don't have a clue about whether the requirement/standard is to have on.
I know that functionality wise it doesn't matter.
I know that in order to validate the sitemap, you do need that section. (http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php#validating)
Regards
Chris

CH,
Thanks for pointing that out.
I checked Google's documentation and apparently it has changed recently.
We will update the application for this month's release (expected around the 20th).
Thanks,
Brian
