| Subject: | sitemapindex doesn't validate against the schema file |
Search:SiteMap::Index 2.09 creates a structure
<siteindex url="....
<sitemap>
<loc>...</loc>
<lastmod>...</lastmod>
</sitemap>
</siteindex>
Based on http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php#index and the XSD
http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/siteindex.xsd
the root tag should be 'sitemapindex' instead of 'sitemap'.
Also in order to get the XML validation on
http://www.validome.org/xml/validate/
passing I had to shuffle the namespace attributes around. The difference
is that url= got removed, another URL got added to xsi:schemaLocation.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<sitemapindex
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/siteindex.xsd"
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
