I am using the latest version of Keylimetie sitemap and after uploading the XML if I try to validate on http://www.w3.org/2001/03/webdata/xsv it gives me an error. When I investigated the problem in more detail I found that the header xml of your application is generated below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>...

Instead it should be like below
<urlset
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9
http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">
<url>...

Can you please modify the source of your application for such a small change so I don't have to manually modify the sitemap every time?

We have investigated your issue and while w3.org doesn't fully validate the schema, Google says it's correct.
Google and all other search engines that use SEO sitemaps will process your files.
There is no need for an XML update.

Thanks,
KeyLimeTie

Will it a huge problem to add the code according to W3C standards as well?

The sitemap is valid. Please submit it to Google.
