Because that file is being served as 'text/html' instead of 'text/xml' as it
should. That is server misconfiguration. I'm not surprised Googlebot doesn't
pick it up.
yes, quite right, unfortunately, I don't think I can get the CMS to
serve it correctly as xml, however google digested it
How I love this community!
I haven't solved my problems yet, but based on the comments and ideas
I've gathered in the past few days, the site has improved

Hi Andrew
I'm not totally sure about that htmlhead you've used top and bottom of
your *sitemap.xml* file?
It looks suspiciously like regular HTML to me, albeit with an XML extension
...
I'm a bit of a newbie here, but I've had good success with *this* structure:
?xml version=1.0
Sorry Hassan! It would seem it's been changed.
Andrew's been beavering away, as one does.
His original XML file I downloaded from the same URI as you did:
http://maps.unimelb.edu.au/sitemap.xml, right onto my desktop (it's still
there), and I believe I probably did that a number of hours before

Yes, I know it's off topic, but I really need a hand with a mystifying
problem. I've tried the google forums, but have received no replies.
If there are any listers who understand the free Google Custom Search
Engine, webmaster tools, sitemaps and indexing problems, then I'd
really appreciate you
Craig,
OK - that's a really interesting comment.
I had, as far as I knew, used the right formatting, the sitemap validates as
XML and Google's webmaster tools accepted it as a valid feed (after a few
tweaks!)
I followed this document, which I understand is the definitive source.
Bother! that last reply was supposed to be off list!
Oh well, the discussion had got around to web standards by that point,
so it's fair game.
...and it's a friday afternoon, cut me some slack!!
Thanks to all those who have replied off list. By way of reporting
back to the list, I'll say...
