Oooh, did someone say more documentation?  

This would be a great help.  And with tools such as Spy, it could automagically 
suggest options as the sitemap is edited.  While having a free sitemap editor would be 
great, having one that I paid for and saves me a bunch of time is simply a tradeoff.  

But it needs the schema to be kept up to date.  I was just looking at the archives a 
few days back, seems there was a similar initiative in the past to start and maintain 
a sitemap DTD.  I think Schemas are easier to read and work with personally, but mebbe 
I'm weird.  Anyway, an up-to-date DTD/Schema really makes life easy with an editor 
such as Spy.

Anyway, putting it in the validation for TreeProcessor is something I am all for 
because it forces developers that require sitemap changes to update the schema, and an 
up-to-date schema has obvious implications for sitemap editors and documentation.  
Seems it makes good sense all around!

It looks like Spy outputs PNG and HTML (or M$ word) for that fancy documentation, too 
bad it doesn't output SVG and XML, we could have sucked it right into the xdocs.  What 
were they thinking? :)
