== Requirements to Sitemaps from http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php ==

 * The file itself must be UTF-8 encoded.
 * The Sitemap must: 
   1. Begin with an opening <urlset> tag and end with a closing </urlset> tag.
   1. Specify the namespace (protocol standard) within the <urlset> tag. 
   1. Include a <url> entry for each URL, as a parent XML tag.
   1. Include a <loc> child entry for each <url> parent tag.
 * URLs in a Sitemap must be """from a single host, domain"""
 * URLs can't refer to sibling directory (otside from url,containing sitemap location)

=== Current fixes for qPloneGoogleSitemap ===
 
 * Add "UTF-8" encoding
 * Up version for urlset namespace to "0.9"
