Wow, Berni that helps a lot. Thanks for your obvious big
effort. I have used your posting to provide initial content
for a new document:
"Example sitemap snippets"
userdocs/concepts/sitemap-examples.xml
This is linked from the introduction of sitemap.xml
It needs more work, but it is good start. More can be
extracted from your posting and added. Obviously there
is too much explanation required, to try to document it
inside the sitemap.xmap itself.
